It is meant for students who want to put computing to use on problems in many different fields. Undergraduates can begin original research in their first year and enter well-known programming contests. Featured courses include one on artificial intelligence. Alumni hold jobs such as software engineer, systems and IT specialist, research scientist, and program manager, and some work at large technology companies. Qualified students may follow an accelerated 4+1 path that continues into the master's in Computer Science after a single extra year, with tuition scholarships on offer.
