Description:

Computer science is a field of theoretical and practical problem solving, combining creativity with mathematics, logic and communication. A strong understanding of computer science principles helps prepare you for a long career of problem solving and system building without requiring continual training.



During the course of your studies, you will actively be solving problems and building new programs in class and tutorial labs. Students interested in gaining experience with computer science research may pursue opportunities to work in research laboratories, either as a volunteer or as part of research courses.
