Bachelor's Programme in Computer Science, 180 ECTS

Computer Science is the science and art of writing efficient, correct, and user friendly programs for computers. This implies that you deal with all kinds of computer related problems and cooperate with many other disciplines that require complex problem solving. As a computer scientist you thereby get a good insight into many disciplines. The IT society has a large need for people with expert knowledge of computer science, and the computer scientists’ education, with the combination of theory and practice, make them well suited to meet these demands. You therefore find computer scientists in all labour sectors. The majority work in development and in the consulting business, within the private as well as the public sector. Also research work and education in both industry and academy is part of the computer scientists’ labour sector. In addition, computer scientists constitute a resource of increasing importance for new assignments in the knowledge and information society. The Bachelor’s Programme in Computer Science focuses on basic computer science and mathematics, with elements of mathematical statistics and scientific computing, and includes many practical exercises carried out in teams or individually. Also database management, software engineering and user interfaces are included, which opens up to a number of exciting fields of work. There is some latitude in selecting courses, either to widen the scope of knowledge or to deepen it, i e to prepare for the Masters level.
