About the Course
The BSc (Hons) Computing Programme is a course run in partnership with Leeds Beckett University, UK, that gives students the unique opportunity to gain a British degree from right here in Nepal.
The curriculum provides detailed knowledge of the key aspects of computing, from the forefront of the discipline - and gives students the ability to undertake computing projects at a professional standard, by the consistent application and review of development, management, and evaluation methods and techniques.
Students studying this course will gain highly sought-after skills in computer programming, database development, networking, website development, systems modelling, and computer security - which are vital for gaining entry into organisations which demand confident and technically equipped computing graduates.
This wide breadth of understanding enables students to be enterprising when devising and sustaining arguments, and further teaches them to solve problems using innovative ideas - by implementing learned techniques in a multicultural and globalised world.
These are vital skills for gaining entry into organisations which demand confident and technically equipped computing graduates.
Programme Objectives
- This course is equivalent to the BSc CSIT and BIT in Nepal.
- Work on real-world projects, focusing on specialist areas of the student’s choice - including web technology, network and communications, database and software development.
- Gain experience in co-operative working through group projects.
- Develop professional-level skills in technical and report writing, public speaking, and presenting.
- Graduate with the ability to independently undertake research and critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, abstract concepts, and data.
