BSc in Computer Science
Overview
In an increasingly computerized society in areas ranging from administration organization, electronic government, education, banking, health, insurance, natural language processing, Internet and its application, mobile applications, and almost every aspect of human being life, the need for computing, software development, and related research are essential and unavoidable. After building a strong background in critical thinking and computer architecture, the computer science programme prepares graduates who can develop algorithms to solve complex problem fusing computers and to develop software that could leverage the life quality in different sectors. The students will learn several software programming languages in addition to the philosophy of programming languages. The web applications and technologies and developing database application systems are another important part of the programme educational aims.
