Departments
Department of Computer Science
Philosophy
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Computer Science is a programme under the Department of Computer Science. The curriculum for this programme is designed to provide a broad introduction to the fundamentals of computer science including software and systems, programming languages, machine architecture and theoretical foundations of computing. Students will be particularly well prepared for graduate study in computer science. Since computer scientists can apply their skills to so many diverse areas, students are encouraged to take courses of interest as electives from other programmes within and outside the College. It is expected that at least one programming language will be introduced to the students every semester
Department of Information Technology
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Information Technology is a programme developed to provide specialist knowledge on the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of textual, vocal, pictorial and numerical information. The programme becomes necessary in view of demands for trained personnel who can effectively handle, direct and manage the large volume of information within the global community. Students are trained on the basic principles for handling information and on the devices for accomplishing the task. At the end of the programme, students are expected to have basic skills on the general usage, processing and application of information techniques and technologies.
