Areas of Study

Computing science is diverse and encompasses many disciplines. Our program is flexible so that you may specialize in your areas of interest.

You will learn about various topics, such as:

Computing theory - whether, and how efficiently, a computer can solve a particular problem
Programming - acts as a tool to solve problems by writing algorithms in a programming language
Algorithms - a set of defined instructions used for computation
Data structures and databases - the organization and storage of data
Artificial intelligence - uses games or robotics to study intelligent behaviour and learning in machines or systems
Bioinformatics (medical informatics) - uses computing science to solve biological problems such as genome sequencing
Computer graphics, vision and multimedia - generates visual images synthetically and integrates visual information from the real world
Games - uses games to explore programming and artificial intelligence
Mobile computing - designing solutions for mobile devices
Networking - reliably communicates data across long distances
Robotics - controls the behavior of robots through algorithms
Software engineering - creates and maintains software programs
