Computer Science & Information Technology

Turn Your Passion for Computers into a Global Career We depend on electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones, computer software and networks to store, process, transmit, retrieve and manipulate information. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology will cover the technology used in these devices and will focus on the development of the software applications that make these devices useful. Work Placement As part of this four-year course, students will undertake an eight month (January - August) off-campus work placement in an industrial setting following completion of their third year of study. In the event that no external placement is available, students will be given projects on campus. This work experience programme gives students an opportunity to work on projects relevant to their study and significantly improves their chances of obtaining employment after graduation.
