\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The program employs an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, utilizing learning-centered education. It emphasizes the student’s process of self-constructing knowledge and skills in digital science and technology (Constructivism). The curriculum is delivered through a blended educational model that integrates academic study within the university with direct, real-world work experience at an enterprise through Cooperative and Work-Integrated Education (CWIE). This setup facilitates learning through practical work, enhancing both academic and professional experience. It ensures that students are equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, competencies, and attitudes to be “Ready to work” and meet the demands of the labor market and employers.<\/p>\n
