Description

The Bachelor of Computer Science Honours is a postgraduate specialisation degree that aims at consolidating and deepening the 
knowledge and skills of students in the main cognate area of learning, as well as developing their capacity to conduct supervised 
research of  an  applied  nature.  The  programme  is  purposefully  designed  to  expose  students  to  advanced  concepts,  theories, 
tools, and methods of Computer Science. In this context, specific emphasis is placed on internationally accepted general standards 
and  practices, as well as key attributes  that would enable graduates  to assume  supervisory/middle management and applied 
research positions in the Computing industry, academia, and in the public sector in general.

The  curriculum  is  structured  to  facilitate  specialisation  in  the  areas  of  Communication  Networks,  Software  Development, 
Information Security and Digital Forensics.
