PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The proposed PhD in Information Technology is to prepare individuals for the generation of new knowledge in the advanced and applied aspects of Information Technology research by considering IR4.0 Technology. The program has the objective of training students through intensive research. Graduates will demonstrate a capacity to design, conduct and report sustained and original research with emphasis on current industry demands. While the research is conducted under the supervision of the eligible academic advisor, students are expected to demonstrate the ability to work independently.

| Facilities | How does MAHSA students get to build their career experience through the utilisation of MAHSA’s own amenities (if any). Laboratories are fully equipped for any research activity related to engineering fields. Beside, MAHSA running various projects which students may complete their research by involving on those projects as a real case studies. As such, we can mention on MAHSA Hospital project, which the students can apply their knowledge on such a huge construction project. Additionally, MAHSA Eco Village project, which is the real application of IR4.0 and green tech technologies and the students may develop their proposal based on the projects running for this modern village and it should be highlighted that MAHSA allocated appropriate funding for any project related to MAHSA hospital and MAHSA Eco-Village. |
