BACHELOR OF COMPUTER OF SCIENCE

Programme Overview

Introduction

As a university subject, Computer Science goes far beyond the IT you can study at school. Just as a course on transport engineering would go beyond what you might learn in your driving lessons or a car maintenance class.

Our graduates will go on to careers in many fields that need an understanding of computer systems, what they can do, and how to design them, from computer manufacturers and software firms to management consultancy, finance or teaching.

Programme Objectives

The aim of this degree is to produce a computer science graduate capable of using computing principles, concepts and techniques to design, implement, manage and maintain computing systems that address and provide solutions to various economic activities for benefit of humankind.
