A new quest: The agreement was signed by QIU chief operating officer Nicholas Goh and BIT vice-president Wang Bo. THE opportunity to study computer science in China — a leading nation in global technology — is a chance of a lifetime. Now thanks to a new dual-degree partnership between Malaysia’s Quest International University (QIU) and China’s Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), students who register for the four-year programme will spend their first two years in QIU, before continuing the final two years at BIT. Upon successful completion of the dual-degree programme, they will be awarded a Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) degree from QIU and a Bachelor of Science degree from BIT—which could open new windows of career opportunity across the globe.
