Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The Bachelor of Computer Science involves the use of the most up-to-date technology and methods and includes major emphasis on software development. The course is oriented towards applications in areas such as defence, aerospace and medicine, where complex software plays a major role: as well as in businesses that require extensive computer support, such as retail, banking and manufacturing.
This sector is ever growing faster than before, and there are insufficient quality skills in the sector who can take up the demands. The Government of Uganda’s BUBU (Build Uganda Buy Uganda) policy requires many software professionals in the development and support of the software systems and web services locally. This program is modeled on our existing bachelor’s degree which boasts an impressive employment record among graduates. Experience has taught us that our graduate profile is actively sought after by recruiters, and it is common tor our final-year students to receive job otters before they graduate. The BSc. in Computer Science program enables students to attain, by the time of graduation:1. An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the program’s student outcomes and to the discipline.
2. An ability to analyse a problem and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution required for individuals, organizations and society.
3. An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or complex program to meet desired needs by applying mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modelling.
4. An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal.
5. An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities.
6. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
7. Recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development.
