BSc in Computer Science

The BSc in Computer Science at Haramaya University is housed in the College of Computing and Informatics. It emphasises the scientific side of computing and gives students deep insight into the ideas and principles behind the discipline, so they can adapt as technology changes. Practical skills receive strong emphasis, including courses on emerging internet-related technologies relevant to working conditions in Ethiopia. Graduates are expected to analyse user requirements, build and test complex software, set up and administer networks and create advanced websites. The department admits students who reach the minimum score the Ministry of Education sets for public universities. Because applications exceed capacity, places are competitive and depend on the entrance score and the student's first-choice preference. The degree is awarded as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
