The Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) programme is a mainstream computing programme aimed at producing graduates capable of managing information and information systems in a wide range of IT environments and in the field of applications development.
One major highlight of the Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) programme is its innovative curriculum that balances theory and application. Students will go through extensive laboratory practise of technical subjects and four months of intensive industrial training that will give them substantial exposure on the techniques used in the IT industry. The project work in the final year of study includes problem-solving case studies that will provide undergraduates the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills and prepare them for real-world work scenarios.
Students will be given the option to complete their industrial training within the country, or overseas at identified centres such as the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad.
Assignments, workshops/seminar, industrial training and successful projects undertaken throughout the duration of the programme will contribute towards the creation of a student who has the requisite skills to obtain suitable jobs or to get involved in the business world in the field of Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Communications and/or Engineering. Furthermore, besides acquiring adequate knowledge in the field of Information Technology, students will have the option to specialise in distributed systems, database management, security or embedded systems. Graduates with special training in any of the abovementioned areas are highly sought-after in the IT industry.
