Study Contents

Our Bachelor's in Computer Science degree programme with on-site learning is designed to give you the best return on your investment. That means building a foundation of skills to serve you throughout your career.

To do so, this Bachelor's programme goes far beyond just teaching you how to code. It trains you to:

• Understand computer science theory
• Analyse and solve complex problems
• Develop life-long learning skills
• Work with complex data systems

Semester 1

The first step you’ll take is to familiarise yourself with the key concepts of computer science and math, plus develop a good foundation of academic work principles.

• ModuleECTS credits**
• Introduction to Computer Science5
• Introduction to Academic Work5
• Mathematics I5
• Object-oriented Programming with Java5
• Data Structures and Java Class Library5
• Intercultural and Ethical Decision-Making5

Semester 2

In your second semester, you’ll:

• Look at web application development
• Learn how to work with operating systems
• Expand your math skills

It’s also the first semester where you’ll work on a project to add to your portfolio : developing your very own website using Java.

• ModuleECTS credits**
