BSc Computer Science with Management

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with management is a mainstream dual study programme designed to provide an effective and well-balanced introduction to the whole field, rather than a more specialized introduction to selected themes. It encompasses the core aspects of computer science education: developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, understanding and advancing technology, and applying this knowledge to benefit society. This programme reflects the field's balance of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and ethical considerations, preparing students to be effective and responsible contributors in the rapidly evolving world of technology. The elements of managerial skill will help students to take up positions or roles within the field of computing and be competent enough to build system and software applications.
