Why Study Computer Science?

You should consider a career in Computer Science if you:

  • like solving complex problems
  • can think logically
  • want to work in a fast-moving technical field
  • enjoy working with computers

What will I learn?

Given sufficient computer power and human ingenuity you can solve almost any problem imaginable:

  • Guide a rocket to Mars
  • Catalogue the world's literature
  • Map the human genome
  • Make an animated movie
  • Develop an e-commerce web site
  • Build a computer game
  • and more...

We teach you techniques for solving all of the above problems. What you do with the knowledge is limited only by your imagination! You may be the person who makes the next big development that changes the world...

Computer Science is the study of computers and how to best use them for solving problems. Solving problems requires an ability to write programs that control a computer and tell it what to do. A computer is a wonderfully flexible machine, so it can be told to do almost anything, limited only by your imagination.
