The science of computing is transforming the world at a breathtaking pace. Think self-driving cars, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial brains. Think medical advances made possible by the sheer computation power and our newfound ability to gather and sift through massive amounts of data. In this age, this is the science that touches every life and drives every modern endeavor. Through hands-on projects and active learning activities, students in our program will be trained not only to make excellent use of the state-of-the-art technology but also to create and drive future technology.
Our curriculum comprehensively covers foundational aspects of computing. Delve deeper by choosing from several focus areas—1. AI & data analytics; 2. software construction; 3. (big) data platform engineering; and 4. research-oriented computer science—or combining them into your unique focus area with our expert help. The program is suitable for those seeking a high-paying job right after college as well as for those aiming for further study.
