Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science (Honors)

Computer Science emphasizes the hardware and system software of a computer, how they are designed, built and supported. The work includes a study of the major components of a computer system, particularly pro­gramming and how the components work together to make a variety of computer systems, from desktop sys­tems to games platforms, video recorder and washing machine controllers and also computer networks. This course gives an excellent technical insight into computers and so ensures excellent job prospects.

There will be some specialist study in the first year. However, the main specialization will begin in Year 2. This course focuses on the hardware and software that allows other software to work on computers and also that allows intelligent control of other hardware from washing machines to jet fighters. Topics such as architecture, operating systems, networks, low level and system programming and computer control will be studied in the first two years. The final year allows the students to choose specific computer science areas to study and also intro­duces them to advanced subjects such as real time systems, distributed computer systems, computer security and high level computer systems design.

Graduates of this degree will obtain the technical knowledge, skills and background to design, organize and support different computer systems. A typical career could be as a computer scientist, technical support engi­neer or embedded software specialist.

The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with Honors can be achieved over a minimum period of 3 years. It is required to have 360 credits over the 3 years period with maximum 120 credits being accumulated each year.
