BS in Computer Science

Computer science explores what can be computed and how those ideas become working software. This degree gives students a foundation in designing algorithms, organising data, engineering software, artificial intelligence and protecting systems from attack. Teaching alternates between lecture sessions and project work in which students build things themselves. The emphasis falls on breaking problems down, reasoning computationally and producing software that runs efficiently and can grow with demand. Rooms and labs are air conditioned, and every student works at an individual computer. Graduates are prepared to investigate new technologies and to take on difficult computing challenges in research or industry settings. Courses are arranged so that early study of programming principles leads into more advanced topics, and the practical focus helps learners show their abilities through finished work.
