Data Science and Analytics

Data science is not just about programming computers with lots of algorithms and formulas or developing complex logic using array functionality. It’s about figuring out the most efficient way to collect, organize, process, and model large and voluminous datasets. Businesses are doing the same with data; understanding how it can be used to solve real-life problems.

Data science has become one of the most diverse and fastest-growing industries in the world.

According to a report by the World Economic Forum, Data Analysts and scientists are one of the top job roles increasing in demand across industries.

Once you have a strong foundation in data analytics, you will be ready to take on your dreams in your data science career.

Cyber Security

Cyber security is essential to everything we share digitally and it is becoming increasingly important as more businesses share and collect data – think of all the online forms you are filling out right now!

If you’re looking to get into the field of Cybersecurity, it’s important that you realize that it’s not just about breaking into one’s computer or hacking passwords; it’s about protecting our own data and identity while we work online.

There are many challenges to overcome before one completely understands this fascinating field, but a good place to begin is by pursuing your passion through an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information systems or Cybersecurity.

This will educate you on the very best technical areas relating to cybersecurity, along with elements of business and computer science to give you a well-rounded idea of what the industry entails and how far one can reach while operating within its sphere. After graduation, you will be fast-track ready to take the next steps towards carving out your niche within this particular field!

Fintech and Payments

Payments serve a universal purpose: they help customers transfer money from one account to another while preserving trust and security. So what exactly are some fintech or payment-based jobs? Both industries are surprisingly high in demand due to their ability to set up merchant services for businesses, individuals, and companies alike.

From logistics to customer relations, anything is possible within these areas! An undergraduate program in Commerce, Economics, Management, Finance, or Engineering will all prepare you to set your foot in the Fintech industry.

Blockchain

You’ve likely heard a lot about blockchain, but it’s important to remember that blockchain is still in its early stages. Blockchain is a digital recording system that eliminates and prepares students for the need for any financial middlemen.

Essentially, blockchain offers a degree of security and efficiency by removing third parties from transactions – using secure cryptographic techniques to not only allow the exchange of value but also to validate them. It has a lot of potential in the future, with many industries already making use of it now such as baking, automotive, telecommunications, and more.

Blockchain technology has the potential to improve financial services – from everyday people sending money to their families across the world to large international corporations. This technology will only continue to grow as more and more industries begin to understand its value.

Future-ready education – How does Charterhouse prepare the students?

Charterhouse Malaysia’s Spectra Smarts approach develops students’ full range of human intelligence and is designed to bring out the best of what it means to be human so that graduates are ‘Future Ready’ and equipped with the tools needed to succeed in a high-tech future.

In addition, students learn to solve problems using Design Thinking – a powerful, human-centered thinking methodology used by scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs to solve the world’s most complex problems. This flexible, creative approach to problem-solving gives students an edge, enabling them to use their innately human qualities such as empathy to complement rather than compete with Artificial Intelligence in the changing landscape of work and industry.

As students become more confident in their own beliefs while remaining receptive and open-minded to others’ ideas, Charterhouse prepares them to be men and women of service who can make concrete contributions to the community as a whole. Each student is required to complete an Independent Learning Project, combining students’ newfound innovation and emotional intelligence skills with a commitment to serve.

At Charterhouse Malaysia, we believe all of our students are leaders. Consequently, during their time at the school, students will have numerous opportunities to impact both their peers and the community alike. All students are automatically members of Charterhouse Forum, a student-run body responsible for the personal development of the students. It provides various opportunities for students to learn how to be proficient in leadership through diverse involvement in activities across the spectrum from sports, arts and culture, and technology, to community outreach and travel.
