About the Programme

Computerized business processes are a default in nearly all organizations. Most organizations, are continuously relying on computer systems for their day to day operations. As the reliance on computer systems increase, so is the need for effective computer systems as well as the human resource to develop and maintain them. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program was was developed to offer a unique learning experience that blends theoretical, practical and industrial skills. The students shall be exposed to general computer science areas like networking, programming, database management, software development and algorithms. The learners will then be equipped with advanced skills in multimedia technologies, computer security and mobile applications development. Graduates of this program particularly be exposed to skills that would help them innovate new products and compete favorably in the private and public sector.

The learning structure of this program is such that it blends face-to-face, online and experiential type of learning. This will improve their self-learning skills which are critical to the fast-changing ICT world. This program therefore seeks to develop high quality human resources that will be able to develop and manage software products necessary in the computerized economy.

Goals and Objectives

The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science  degree  program   are  to  produce graduates who can:

  • Design, develop and evaluate software and computer-based systems.
  • Explain and demonstrate expertise in the common computing topics, with a special emphasis on image processing, security and mobile applications.
  • Innovate and compete favorably in the private and public sector.
  • Setup, manage and tune computer infrastructure (Data, Network and Services).

Learning Outcomes

The graduate of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science should be able to

  • Design, develop and evaluate software and computer-based systems.
  • Demonstrate practical, theoretical energy with a special emphasis on image processing, security and mobile applications.
  • Set up and manage computer systems
  • Analyze and maintain the security of computer systems.

Admission Requirements

  • The entry requirements shall be at least credit level passes in five subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Physics to form the core subjects with credit in any other two relevant science subjects, at the Senior Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent. In addition, an acceptable pass in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with relevant subject combination is required for Admission into 100 Level.
  • Candidates with two A level passes (graded A-E) at the GCE/IJMB Advanced Level in relevant subjects (Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics) may be admitted into 200-level. This is in addition to fulfilling the requirement of a minimum of credit level passes in five relevant subjects at SSCE or WASCE/GCE ‘O’ Level.
