Malawi Assemblies of God University
The interaction between Information Sciences and Mathematics will continue developing in remarkable new directions. Mathematical scientists enormously benefit from information technology in the performance of research, in communicating and disseminating scientific information and results, as well as in career environments involving data analysis and management. Mathematicians also contribute to making inroads toward the development of new information technologies. Information sciences and technology are already playing a very important role in mathematical education, at all levels, and will experience an overwhelming increase in the near future. <mark>Giving undergraduate ICT students the opportunity to minor in Mathematics will not only enrich their educational achievements but it will also help them succeed in the employment searches.</mark>
Exploits University
The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program is to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to take on professional positions in the fields of information technology, business, and management. The program is designed to merge the IT fundamentals of databases, human-computer interaction, networking, programming, and Web systems; and it covers technologies such as mobile applications, non-relational databases, and cloud computing. <mark>Students are taught to develop a solid understanding of the underlying theories and concepts and practical hands-on applications while applying their problem-solving and critical thinking skills to handle all types of real-world computing and informational problems.</mark> In addition, students are exposed to a well-rounded learning experience where they work in teams to master oral and written communication.

Mzuzu University
The Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) was established in the year 2005 under the Faculty of Information Science and Communication and now belongs to the Faculty of Science, Technology and Innovation since 2018 due to the University restructuring. It was primarily established to reduce the acute shortage of ICT professionals in Malawi by responding to various policies such as the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS II), National ICT Policy, ICT for Development (ICT4D) Policy and Vision 2020. These strategic documents realize that <mark>rapid development in all sectors of the economy will require highly skilled and educated workforce, in particular the application of science, technology and innovation.</mark> <p></p> Throughout the years, the department has grown and expanded her operations significantly. <p></p> This programme offers students a rich learning experience that blends theoretical, practical and industrial skills. <mark>Its structure and delivery methods equip students with analytical and problem solving skills in the fields of Networking, Programming, Databases, Software Development and Algorithms.</mark> <p></p> In addition, students obtain advanced skills in Multimedia Technologies, Computer Security and Mobile Applications Development. Career options to graduates include; Software Developers, Systems Analysts, Database Managers, IT Managers, Researchers in Computing and several other computing careers. <p></p> As a requirement towards partial fulfillment for the award of the degree, the students will complete a research project to demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills acquired throughout the tuition. In addition to the research project, the students will undergo an assessed industrial attachment. The attachment exposes the students to real work environment. Furthermore, all students will complete a mini project during the third and fourth year as a requirement. It is a four-year face-to-face multiple entry and multiple exit programme. The generic students enter the programme at Year 1 (Level 1).
University of Malawi
The Department of Computer Science is one of the departments in the Faculty of Science at University of Malawi. It was established in 1980 as a Section under the Mathematics department.
