Course overview
The Computer Science major focuses on the knowledge required to build operating systems and design new programming languages. Computer Science professionals design the computing technology that we all use rather than customised software for specific clients. The stream covers in-depth software design and algorithm analysis as well as the aspects of artificial intelligence, computer communications, programming language design, databases and problem classification. The major will prepare students for the areas of Information and Communication Technologies stated to be most in demand for the positions considered to be the most difficult to fill.
Graduates from the major will have a high level of knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and design. The aim of this major is to prepare the students for the areas of ICT stated to be most in demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill.
