Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is a four-year programme that goes beyond basic programming to provide a solid grounding in computing concepts, theories and emerging technologies. It focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of software and computational systems, with core strengths in software theory, design, development and application. Students are prepared to design algorithmically complex software and solve real-world computational problems. Key areas of study include mathematical foundations, algorithms and problem-solving, artificial intelligence, computer systems and networks, security, databases, human–computer interaction, graphics and vision, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, bioinformatics and the theory of computing. While coding is an essential skill, the programme places strong emphasis on algorithmic thinking, performance evaluation of hardware and software, tackling both abstract and practical problems, developing applications for demanding environments (such as mobile devices) and implementing robust security solutions.
