Computer Science is the study of algorithms and computer software. A BSc degree in Computer Science includes a sequence of courses that constitute a complete undergraduate training in Computer Science, alongside other courses to complete the degree. Students will learn to write computer programs in a variety of languages and on different computing platforms and develop the accompanying algorithmic solutions to classical (e.g., timetabling) and contemporary (e.g., big data) problems.
Students usually take the following key courses:
MAM1004+8 Introductory calculus and discrete mathematics
CSC1015 Introduction to programming and problem solving
CSC1016 Object-oriented design; Social issues and professional practice
CSC2001 Data structure and databases
CSC2002 Mobile application design; Concurrency; Computer architecture
INF2009 Requirements analysis and design
CSC3002 Operating systems; Networks
CSC3003 Advanced software engineering; Computability and Algorithms
