KUCHING: Fifty-three students and academic staff from Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus received their award certification and membership to the Australian Computer Society (ACS).
A professional association for Australia’s Information and Communications (ICT) sector, the presentation ceremony took place at the campus here on Wednesday.
According to Swinburne Sarawak Deputy Vice-Chancellor and CEO Professor Janet Gregory, this allowed the university’s students and academic staff to be part of a network of a prestigious ICT team.
