Why you should specialise in Computer Science
Computer scientists don’t just write code all day, they solve problems — sometimes completely changing the entire field of computer science.
That’s why there’s such a high demand for their unique skills.
While programmers face a lot of competition in the jobs market, computer scientists have fewer limits on their career prospects: They have better chances to advance to senior roles.
As a B.Sc. in Computer Science student, you’ll develop these hard-skills:
- Object-oriented programming with Java
- Web application development
- Statistics and Mathematics
- IT service management
- Programming with Python and SQL
You’ll also work on building career-upgrading soft-kills:
- Solving computational problems by building better technologies
- Intercultural and ethical decision-making
- Collaborative work
- Practical project analysis
In your last two semesters, you’ll take elective courses that match your future career ambitions. Big Data? Mobile software engineering? You’ll have your pick from 9 different options.
Your studies will all be done in English.
