Broadly, the program was developed to offer a unique learning experience that blends theoretical, practical and industrial skills. The students are exposed to general computer science areas like networking, programming, database management, software development and algorithms. The learners are then equipped with advanced skills in multimedia technologies, computer security and mobile applications development. Graduates of this program are particularly exposed to skills that would help them innovate new products and compete favorably in the private and public sector.

The learning structure of this program is such that it blends face-to-face, online and experiential type of learning.  This improves their self-learning skills which are critical to the fast-changing ICT world. This program therefore seeks to develop high quality human resources that will be able to develop and manage software products necessary in the computerized economy.

Career Options

Graduates of this program can also be very useful as:

  1. Software Developers
  2. System Administrators
  3. Database Administrators
  4. Multimedia Developers (games, images, audio)
  5. Digital Security Officers
  6. Software Evaluators
They can work in any organization, including private, public and protected   organizations.  The graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program are also given strong theoretical knowledge that will enable them to work as researchers and innovators of future technologies.
