What Is a Computer Science Degree?

The passion for technology can lead you to choose the specialisation of Computer Science. This field has become increasingly popular in recent years, the development being so rapid that people are trying to keep up with it.

A Computer Science degree deals with the theoretical and practical foundations of information technology and computers. The scientific part merges with the practical one in various algorithms, information processing or in computational models. This specialisation often aims to study methodological processes, making representations on a computer, storage, or accessing information.

At the same time, the study of Computer Science focuses on the learning of programming languages, which are extremely important for any student. Python, C ++, Java are just a few of the programming languages ​​that are explored in depth by students in order to solve the applications received from the faculty. Furthermore, on the labour market, programming languages ​​are highly appreciated and integrated, being a useful tool for optimal performance of industries.

Benefits of a Computer Science Degree

The most important skill that young people learn following this degree is the use of programming languages. Once they grasp the logic of programming, they will easily be able to master the languages ​​and build or develop WEB applications. Additional skills that are acquired can be: network design and engineering, software engineering, multimedia design. In addition, classical skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving or time management are also gained by students.

According to recent studies, 6 of the 10 best jobs chosen by graduates are linked to Computer Science. These include Web Design, Computer Support Specialist, IT Operations Technician or Database Administrator. Moreover, the employment rate is favourable to the students, being over 70%. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, it is expected that the supply will grow in the future, requiring computer science specialists in any field.

Computer Science Degree Structure

To study Computer Science, students can either pursue university courses or follow courses online, depending on their availability and income. Online or outside-university courses include disciplines such as: Information Systems Management, Game Programming, Web Development, Network Fundamentals. They usually have a duration of 2 years. Although these courses provide important skills in this specialisation, students may be disadvantaged when competing with a student who has a Bachelor’s Degree. Some of the most important campuses in the world include Penn State World Campus, University of Massachusetts, Lowell (The Division of Online Learning and Continuing Education), Saint Leo University.

The Bachelor in Computer Science lasts around 3 to 4 years, depending on the university. Throughout the programme, students acquire mathematical knowledge, theoretical and practical foundation in programming. Some of the subjects discussed are: Computer Programming, Data Structures, Databases, Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory or Statistics. These vary according to the curriculum of the university. 

A Master’s program complete the students’ necessary career skills. In this way, they have a greater understanding of computing softwares, tools, packages, and computer architecture. 

There are Master programs that can be followed even by those who have not undertaken undergraduate studies in Computer Science, such as those offered at the University of Birmingham for example. These programs can take either 2 to 5 years. 

A PhD program is especially dedicated to those who want to research or become university professors and can last between 4 to 5 years.

    I recommend ISCOD

    The flexibility of the program allows me to organize my learning according to my pace and my availability, while benefiting from rigorous educational supervision and personalized monitoring.

    ISCOD’s digital platforms are intuitive and facilitate access to courses, resources and interactions with professors and other students. Regular videoconferences and dynamic discussion forums help maintain a feeling of community and encourage exchanges.

    Nice discovery

    A real nice surprise 😁
    In Bachelor Web Designer / UX Designer, the ISCOD allowed me to have a sandwich course, the digital format is very good and the Digital Learning platform is very intuitive. Having already followed distance training, this format does not bother me and the rhythm of 1 day in class and 4 days in the company is really interesting. We are regularly monitored and if we have any questions, the ISCOD team answers us and advises us as necessary.

    I strongly recommend this university

    As I already had my company, the ISCOD Teams helped me complete the registration very quickly.

    What I like about ISCOD is that you can choose your training day in accordance with our company. You can also choose the order of the lessons accordingly to the mission you have within your company.

    The platform is well made and simple to use. The interface is clear and it makes you want to learn. We have a follow-up rate that allows us to situate ourselves in the progress of our training. The lessons are very fluid and the speakers are very clear in their explanations.

    Our case studies are corrected by real correctors, which is reassuring and gives a real indication of the courses that we have assimilated or not. The comments given by the proofreaders are very detailed and allow us to improve.

    We have a thesis to do and an oral, a guarantee of seriousness. We are accompanied by a learning coach for that and it is also very reassuring since we are not alone with our memory. I got an answer to every question I asked.
    The staff is very attentive to our requests and our problems.

    In short, very good experience!

    e-learning, a practical way to learn

    I started an apprenticeship at ISCOD this year, which I found while looking for a job! Not too motivated to go back to school, but the job related to the school was exactly what I was looking for, so I gave it a try! A few days after I applied, I was contacted again, and within a week I was welcomed in a company and started my course.
    I recommend it! The pace of the apprenticeship was a very good discovery for me! I am doing missions related to my course in my company and the e-learning mode is very well adapted to business school courses!
    It’s different from the usual business school courses because they are all led by educators from the working world: they are courses with practical content that provides real methods to apply at work.
    It is possible to follow the modules in the order of your choice and study at your own pace. Quite practical for people like me who are not morning people!

    A good experience

    Very satisfied with my experience at ISCOD. Very fast integration: immediately taken care of by a super-efficient admissions officer, I found my internship in less than a week. The learning platform is very complete. Many relevant resources and tools are made available to us and/or brought to our attention. I didn’t want to go back to school face-to-face and I am particularly satisfied with the autonomy provided by online and digital learning. My learning coach follows me regularly and helps me in the progress of my training as well as in the development of my thesis. He is a professional in the field in which I train and our exchanges are always very enriching. The other students are volunteers and just ask to share and help each other! Thanks to the internship program, I learn much better since I directly apply what I learn. I get paid and school is free. I made the right choice.
