Through in-depth lectures and rigorous tutorials, laboratory work, projects and case studies, students will acquire a broad and thorough understanding of the theories and practical skills behind software design and development, software engineering, database systems, computer networks and information security. In addition, our study streams allow students to further specialize in different areas of expertise. The B.Sc. Computer Science includes a year long day-release industrial placement component that allows students to gain valuable real world work experience. Graduates can leverage this strong foundation to pursue technical as well as managerial positions in their career.Intended Learning Outcomes of Major (MILOs)
