BSc. (Hons) Computer Science

Course Introduction

The Bachelor of Computer Science is a three-year graduate degree that is available in three different major courses;

Computing
Software Engineering
Computer Networks Engineering

In affiliation with the University of Northampton (UoN), these three years will help the students gain in-depth knowledge and skills required in the computing streams.

It provides an insight into the computing industry, investigating the wide-reaching influences that computers and computer technology has on the world.

Course Overview

This course is designed to give the students the opportunity to explore different ideas, developing innovative solutions of improvements to current issues in the computing industry. This program covers the fundamental principles that are key to computing technology and its various uses.

Throughout this degree, students will cover software engineering methods, database implementation and system design, with multiple users and multiple platforms in mind. It also includes background theory, practical implications of knowledge-based systems, neural networks and evolutionary algorithms on the development of artificial intelligence systems.

Courses Offered

During the first year, all computing students will share the same module and in years two and three, the students will have the flexibility and choice to focus on specialism under a range of topics.

Career Prospect

Students can be directly involved in any of the organizational projects without any intensive training. Organizations are not only limited to the below mentioned ones.

Software Industries
ISP
Banks
Airlines
Hydropower
Automobile Industries
Educational Institutions

Students' research ability can lead them to meet the career goal of being a researcher and work in an organization or independently as a researcher or consultant. In the current market scenario, there is no discipline where computing is not used, so the long term scope of computing candidates can be felt everywhere in the world where computing is used.
