Overview

The programmes allow students to enrol in either a full Computer Sciences degree programme (comprising Computer Science and Information Systems majors), or a conventional two-major degree programme, combining a Computer Sciences major with co-major in either Mathematics or Physics or Statistics

Undergraduate Degrees

Degree Programme in Computer Science and Information Systems

The purpose of this programme is the training of competent Computer Science and Information Technology professionals. A graduate of this course will have the knowledge, skills and competence to occupy entry-level positions involved in the development of information-based systems. Graduates will have a good understanding of the architecture of hardware and software systems, and the whole process of information systems analysis, design and implementation. Learners will appreciate the importance of producing high quality solutions within given time-scales and costs.

BSc Degree in Computer Science and Mathematics

Computer Science and Mathematics entail much more than just a combination of the study of Computer Science with the study of Mathematics. It holistically emphasizes the application of mathematical principles within the design of computing solutions; for example, to determine the correctness of safety critical software in embedded systems. It also covers the knowledge needed to implement mathematical models in simulations that evaluate real world situations such as stress analysis in bridges and buildings, airflow over aircraft wings, and the bandwidth utilization in computer networks.

BSc Degree in Computer Science and Physics

Computer Science and Physics entail much more than just a combination of the study of Computer Science with the study of Physics. It holistically emphasizes the application of computing solutions within the domain of Physics. It also covers the knowledge needed to implement mathematical models in simulations that evaluate real world situations.

BSc Degree in Computer Science and Statistics

Computer Science and Statistics entail much more than just a combination of the study of Computer Science with the study of Statistics. It holistically emphasizes the application of computing solutions within the domain of Statistics. It also covers the knowledge needed to implement mathematical models in simulations that evaluate real world situations.
