Programme Details

Introduction

In this programme, you will learn how to analyse complex problems, as well as design and write programs to solve them. You will develop a solid foundation in object-oriented software development, and the design, development, and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Learning from world-leading Artificial intelligence (AI) experts, you will study and apply AI in a range of environments. As a result, you will be able to design databases and develop cutting-edge programs - from desktop applications to enterprise systems. Career opportunities range from software engineering, web development and developing software to business analysis, IT project management and IT consulting.

What our students say

I am a Computer Science student, completing my second year at ³Ô¹ÏÍø and in my programme. I am working at Dhiraagu as a Technical Support Specialist.

Pursuing a first degree at the age of 28 years is challenging, especially while working and studying full-time, which is not easy. Learning innovative ideas and finding inspiring opportunities are activities that I always look out for.

When I started the course, I never thought that we would have an unforeseen challenge in our studies, but we had a sudden change from face-to-face theory and practical classes to going classes online. At first, it was very challenging, and I faced many difficulties and obstacles.

However, we managed to adapt to and continue with online classes. However, coordinating tasks with group members from class for meetings and working sessions became a challenge, and the team dynamic of working in a group changed since we couldn’t meet in person anymore. Even in lecture-based classes, not meeting in person changed the experience. Students are normally able to ask questions during lectures, which is beneficial for other students and for the lecturer, while in online classes, they may not realize that students are missing an important concept.

This was how the COVID pandemic lockdown was for me, busy with so much new learning. Some of the interesting modules in this course like Intelligent Systems and IOT have given me a lot of additional knowledge I’ll be able to use, which will definitely help me out in my career.

In completing the whole second year of the course online, what seemed impossible has proved to be possible now. But I really look forward to the day we can begin face-to-face classes again and to continuing my physical studies at ³Ô¹ÏÍø.

We thought that computer lab sessions had to be physically attended classes, but now we all know they can be done online, virtually, anytime, anywhere! And ³Ô¹ÏÍø computer science lecturers have been doing their best to ensure that we continue to receive a quality education.

I must say that we all must face difficulties with courage and find a workaround when we meet an obstacle.
