 Computer Science

Description

Computer Science involves the study of computational systems, and encompasses the fundamental areas of algorithms, networks, databases, graphics and artificial intelligence.

Computer Science graduates are employed as application programmers, user support (identifying problems and potential solutions) or system analysts, database administrators.

The major areas of Computer Science are:
  • Software engineering methodologies
  • Database design and implementation
  • Operating systems and computer networks
  • Microprocessor-based systems
  • Computer graphics, artificial intelligence and robotics
  • Human computer interaction
