Bachelor of Science(B. Sc) in Computer Science

Computer science is a dynamic and rapidly growing area that has become an integral part of the world today. It is an interdisciplinary application and utility of computer programming that has transformed every aspect of human life including biology, businesses, cyber security, economics, engineering, information assurance, languages and linguistics, mathematics, physics, public policy, etc. Today, programming and digitalization are  used to address a wider range of complex issues.

The current decade has been transformed through into a digital age, most industries rely on data and software programmes. Computer Science & IT impacts everything, from scientific research to health development, transport, banking, communications, mobile communication. Financial transactions, logistics, entertainment, fashion, arts, agriculture, space technology, Défense etc.  Even objects like microwave ovens, fridges, television, mobile phones or door locks are now connected to Wi-Fi networks and personal assistants.

Technology has made the world better, faster, and more connected. But this didn’t happen by magic. It has been achieved to the brilliant minds of IT graduates, who took their passion for technology and used it to create gadgets and computer programmes that help the society every single day.

Having a degree in this field will provide a deep understanding of theories and emerging technologies. This knowledge and experience allows an individual to develop cutting-edge solutions that address today’s challenges.
