The B.Sc. Program in Computer Science is designed with core courses that provide breadth and depth in the field, along with a strong theoretical component as a foundation for good software engineering and information systems. The program includes courses in the sciences and mathematics; general education requirements in the humanities and an in-depth sequence of specialized computer courses.
The program provides a balance of both theory and practice in core courses covering both software and hardware through integrated lectures, laboratory sequences, and individual and group projects often with direct application in the community or region.
Students should be able to work on computer programming languages for problem solving.
Identify problems, analyze requirements, formulate design and implement solutions that meet realistic constraints, such as
- Costs, operational, social, cultural, ethical, health and safety.
- Communicate and use language effectively.
- Develop projects effectively and independently.
- Apply specialized knowledge in the selected area(s) of Computer Science;
- Collaborate and function effectively in team work situations including multi-disciplinary team;
- Function effectively in an industrial environment and apply learned skills to real-world problems;
- Acquire inquisitive attitude and skill to enable creating an original discovery or design related to computing.
Entry requirements for this course are normally:
* Must have at least 5 O’level credits, including English, in no more than 2 sittings.
** For complete requirements, please check the 2019/2020 Jamb Brochure.
