BSc. in Computer Science

The College of Computing at the University of Science and Technology (UST) offers the Computer Science major that is among the most significant scientific disciplines in the modern era, playing a pivotal role in advancing various aspects of life. In recent years, the world has witnessed numerous important technological developments that have had a profound impact on our daily lives, all of which rely fundamentally on the field of Computer Science.

As a result, many universities around the world have observed a notable increase in the number of students enrolling in Computer Science programs. This trend is attributed to growing awareness of the discipline’s importance, its wide-ranging employment opportunities, and its positive impact on society.

The Computer Science program aims to:

  1. provide students with a fundamental body of knowledge in Computer Science and to expose them to emerging technologies and trends in computing.
  2. equip students with the skills necessary for solving new problems, recognizing the need for professional development and lifelong learning, and adapting to diverse work environments and rapid technological changes.
  3. prepare students for successful careers in the fields of computing and information technology at the global level.
  4. integrate students into the community of practicing professionals by developing their teamwork and communication skills, as well as their commitment to professional ethics within diverse societies.

The Computer Science program is the foundational program from which all other specializations within the College of Computing and Information Technology have emerged. Enrollment in the program began in 1994, and the first cohort graduated in 1998.

This program focuses on the fundamentals of computing, intelligent algorithms, and programming languages used in software development. It also covers computer networks, parallel programming, artificial intelligence, computer vision, natural language processing, and other related fields.
