Bachelor of Computer Science(N/481/6/0838)(01/29)(MQA/PA 15140)
BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
Have you always wanted to build the next big tech startup? A degree in Computer Science might pave the path towards the sphere of technology.
From the movies you watch on your smartphone during boring LRT rides to the functioning of the entire LRT system, the use of computer science has become second nature to our daily lives.
Even your favourite apps such as Instagram, Grab, and Waze requires computer science to exist. And that’s not all.
The algorithms and computer models in computer science are helpful in almost every field, including medicine (MRI scans to diagnose diseases), linguistics (computers to recognise speech), and economics (models to forecast economic conditions).
A Computer Science Degree will equip you to become a competent software developer and programmer.
You will gain all aspects of computing such as web and software development, mobile computing, interface design, and system administration. Computer science is closely concerned with knowing – in detail – how computers and computer systems operate.
When you have completed this programme, you could embark on exciting careers such as Applications Developer, Database Designer, E-Business Consultant, IT Consultant, Network Engineer, Programmer, Software Developer, Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, Systems Developer, and Technical Support Engineer.
