Program Overview

An undergraduate student in Computer Science studies a wide range of core topics in the computing field. the program begins with learning programming with languages like C C++ and Python, introduces students to data structures including linked lists, trees, graphs. Students also develop skills in computational algorithms and learn how to optimize them for more efficient performance. The curriculum covers Operating Systems, which manage computer resources, as well as databases, which provide structured methods for data storage and retrieval. in addition, students study computer networks that enable communication between devices over the internet. mathematics forms a fundamental component of the program, with coursework in linear algebra, calculus, and number theory, due to their applications in software development and algorithm design. furthermore, students are introduced to advanced areas such as artificial intelligence, information security, and human computer interaction. In the later stages of the program, students are expected to work on applied projects and develop skills in cloud computing and machine learning, preparing them for professional practice and advanced study.
