Top Core Courses
Fundamentals that will build you up to stay relevant and excellent today, tomorrow and beyond.
Digital Electronics
The studies cover various types of numbering systems used in the digital system, microprocessors, the functionality of various types of logic circuits, how they are connected to perform the digital function as a system, design of medium-scaled integration combinational logic circuits design using logic gates.
Analog Electronics
This course provides a solid foundation in basic analog electronics and a thorough introduction to analog integrated circuits. It introduces the fundamental concept of p-n junction (Diodes), BJT and FET (transistors) which is the basic building block for all electronic devices.
Signals and Systems
The aim of this course is to equip engineering undergraduates with fundamental skills needed to solve engineering application problems. These skills include determining the convergence of a sequences or series, partial derivatives of a multivariable function, applying Laplace transform, Z-transform and Fourier transform.
Structured Programming
This course introduces students to structured programming using C language. It emphasizes programming logic, program design and subsequently, the writing of complete programs.
Field Theory
The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge of time-varying electromagnetic field, antenna theory and electromagnetic compatibility.
Learning Pathways
Students will be meticulously prepared to enter the world of university through the mastery of language, writing skills, and learning skills.
Students will discover fundamental knowledge in various fields of electronics such as Engineering Mathematics and Electrical Circuit and Power.
Students will be exposed to wider aspects of electronics such as analog electronics, digital electronics and the use of electronics-related software (Multisim), as well as explore case studies related to the electronic industry.
Students will focus on advanced electronics courses which emphasise practical knowledge in the electronic industry. In addition, students will be exposed to basic low-level programming by using the MPLAB IDE through the Microprocessor and Microcontroller courses.
Students will have the opportunity to learn Control Systems, and utilise their problem-solving knowledge and practical skills in the final year projects.
Professionals trained in design, operation, maintenance and manufacturing of electronic equipment and systems are always in demand. You will be fit for job functions such as:

The maximum credit transfer through APEL.C is 30% of the total graduating credits for a specific programme of study. This requirement shall be read together with MQA Policies on Credit Transfer, Guidelines on Credit Transfer for MOOC, Micro-credentials and other relevant conditions stipulated by the MQA and MOHE from time to time. The maximum credit transfer allowed for a Diploma-to-Bachelor’s Degree study (based on formal qualifications) is 50% of the total credits for the degree programme, while the existing 60% maximum credit transfer allowable for a combination of formal qualifications with Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL.C), Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and Micro-Credentials (MCs) remains the same.
For courses that you intend to apply for APEL.C but are not listed above, please contact Ms. Quah Phaik Luan at plquah@wou.edu.my.
Kindly contact your nearest Regional Centre if you need further clarification.
Candidates with the following criteria will be eligible to be considered for admission into the undergraduate programme:

2. Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL)
Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) provides an opportunity for individuals with working experience but lack of formal academic qualifications to pursue their tertiary studies. APEL involves the identification, documentation and assessment of prior experiential learning to determine the extent to which an individual has achieved the desired learning outcomes, for access to a programme of study.
Applicants should comply with the following admission criteria stipulated by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA):
- The candidate should be at least 21 years of age in the year of application and possess relevant work experience.

All of the University’s courses are classified into three categories, i.e., lower level, middle level, or higher level. Lower-level courses are basic, introductory, or foundation courses designed for freshmen. Middle-level courses may require knowledge of previous study or a certain amount of intellectual maturity. Higher-level courses are specialized courses usually designed for those majoring in a particular discipline.
The course level is indicated by the first digit of the course code, i.e., lower-level courses are indicated by the code 1XX/XX, middle-level courses by 2XX/XX, and higher-level courses by 3XX/XX. The 2 digits after the slash indicate the credit value of the course. i.e., TEE101/03 is a lower level course of 3 credits while TEL309/10 is a higher-level course of 10 credits.
