BSc Computer Science
Our Computer Science degree programme offers a curriculum that combines theory and practice. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical involvement strikes a healthy balance between traditional academic learning and more hands-on experiences.
The overall aim of this programme is to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to be a computing professional. Our approach is very hands-on when it comes to computing and our projects allow each student to see and understand first-hand how various companies work.
One of the advantages of our Computer Science Course is that the students have access to various facilities during school trips. Some of which include attending the two day conference: Agile in Africa - where students had the opportunity to participate in the conference, visiting the Kofi Annan Centre - where students had the opportunity to learn about new networking technology and taking part in the MEST Hackathon - where students were put into teams to solve various problems by building a prototype.
