Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science equips learners with the knowledge, practical skills and professional competencies required to design, develop and implement innovative computing solutions to real-world problems.

The curriculum is informed by emerging trends in computing and the evolving needs of industry and society. It combines theoretical foundations with practical, hands-on learning in areas such as software development, algorithms, computing technologies, problem-solving and emerging areas of computer science.

Delivered fully online, the programme provides a flexible learning experience through asynchronous e-learning, facilitated problem-solving activities and online collaboration. Learners engage in practical projects, laboratory activities and field-based experiences throughout the programme, including an eight-week field attachment at the end of the third year and a capstone project in the final year.
