Introduction

The program is anchored on the philosophy of producing graduates who are equipped with the skills of design, creation, testing, documenting and deployment of computer systems. The computing industry is rapidly growing and dynamic thus requires up-to date candidates with requisite skills. The Computer Science curriculum provides a solid foundation in computing sciences, preparing students for employment in industry or for Bachelor’s Degree. In the course, Software design and development is emphasized along with foundational computing concepts.

Career Opportunities

  1. Systems engineer
  2. IoT Developer
  3. Hardware engineer
  4. Project Leaders
  5. System administrators
  6. Database administrators,

Program Goal
The programme is designed to provide strong grounding on computation and analytical physics, supported by complex computational analysis, mathematics, hardware, software and artificial intelligence. Computer science and applied physics will provide graduates with practical and algorithmic knowledge central to technological development of physical systems such as network systems, hardware devices, intelligent systems, digital systems and software to control the processing of information that pass through these devices and systems
