Course Overview

If your desire is to become a programmer, then a computer science course is perfect for you. You’ll learn about abstraction, complexity, evolutionary change, sharing of common resources, security, and concurrency.

From system functionality to usability and performance, you’ll also be better placed to solve real-life problems with an understanding of how they affect people’s lives.

As a computer scientist, you’ll learn by doing, making use of high-performance computers, and working individually and in teams to produce solutions to tight deadlines, giving you first-hand experience of agile software development.
