 About the Program
​​Overview​

Our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree prepares students to be active participants in the information revolution. In an industry that's becoming increasingly driven by machine-based learning, the course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how to analyse and build artificial intelligence and algorithms, and how this can help businesses to work more efficiently and generate better results.

The BSc Computer Science degree program provides an in-depth study of the theory, design and application of computer systems, Artificial Intelligence, and Cyber Security.  Students develop the skills needed to design, create, administer, and apply such systems to any field.

Graduates are able to engage in careers in many sectors of the economy such as banking, FinTech, healthcare and Bio Informatics, education, game development, manufacturing, retail, advertising, government, and many others.

Curriculum

The CS program has two concentrations: “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, “Cyber Security (CS)”, in addition to a no concentration option.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) concentration allows students to specialize in a scientific area of interest such as Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Big Data, Visualization of Scientific data, and Robotics.

The Cyber Security (CS) concentration prepares the students with the skills to investigate the vulnerability of hardware and software as well as the measures for protecting against security threats.​​

 Vision, Mission, and Goals
