The Bachelor of Education degree in Computer Science is a wide-ranging program, encompassing both the theoretical and the practical. The students shall be taught to apply computing to the world around them by building faster, smaller, and more secure software systems, exploring emerging technologies, and working on real-world problems. The course focus on teaching students how to recognize computational challenges, create elegant and efficient algorithms, and then use rigorous development methodologies to build systems that can solve pressing problems. Graduates of the Bachelor of Education in Computer Science program find successful careers interprenuaship, traditional software vending companies, government agencies, consulting firms, academia, and companies in other fields that have software and hardware needs.
The Bachelor of Education in Mathematics and Computer Science programmes takes four (4) years to complete. The first year courses are compulsory to both the Schools of Mathematics and Computer Sciences and the School of Natural Sciences. Specialization starts from second year.
- Mould the students to think critically and communicate clearly in computer science concepts
- Prepare students for 21st century life-long learning systems and style,
- Prepare students to exhibit positive attitudes and values towards self and organization discipline, so that they can contribute to an increasingly complex and dynamic society.
- Train students and solutions to real-world problems,
- Mould students to have an appropriate set of professional skills to ensure a productive life.
