The computer science program aims to develop skilled computer scientists with the technical background, knowledge, and adaptability to contribute to the development of well-designed, robust, computer-based solutions to a range of problems in business and industry.

Students study computer science (including introduction to computer programming, algorithms and problem solving, software development) and mathematics. Subjects available in third year include artificial intelligence, database systems, computer networks, and graphics.

At all year levels there is a focus on the cultivation of practical skills together with assimilation of the relevant scientific principles. Teaching methods involve a combination of lectures, tutorials, and practical work. Tutorials are provided at all years.
