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.

    Education

    My experience at the University of Debrecen was really amazing. The faculty members were really nice, talented and supportive.
    There was so much to learn and I loved it. As an international student, I learned a lot.

    Review about career, education and student life

    I like the education materials that was provided to us. The facilities in my faculty were good enough to get us experience regarding the subject. However, I think we didn’t had much help from university for our career after graduation (especially when we were in pandemic). As a student life, I would hope to have official group gatherings amongst students from time to time of same batch so we can know know about the students who studies with us.

    How well do debrecen accept international students for computer science

    Major

    It was a 50-50 experience overall. If I compare my studies to the students who have done this degree back in my home country then I’d say I lack alot of skills. I’d like the university to focus more on hands-on practices and projects instead of theoretical, because in the end theoretical study isn’t of any major importance when we graduate. Except studies, the environment and teachers were super cool.

    The University of Debrecen- a Nigerian perspective

    The University of Debrecen in Hungary stands out in many ways and one of its most outstanding features has to be the type of courses taught in the school. The courses are well planned to build a responsible and successful career in whatever field one finds themselves in, however, for my program, I am faced with little time to cover the amount of work needed. There is a lot of constant pressure from the professors and the school, in general, to cover a lot of these classes in inadequate time.
    I do enjoy the approach to teaching and the practicalities of what is learned in class. I find it very easy to transfer what is learnt in school to real-life and industries.
    The school’s location is also very serene and perfect for learning. It offers a very friendly and calm environment with tons of activities and places to have fun and engage in multiple recreational activities.
    Additionally, as a Nigerian, the community of Nigerians has helped me a lot to settle in and find my way across the city and carry out necessary scholarly activities.
    The University of Debrecen would be a great recommendation for international students such as me, especially Nigerians who are looking for quality education at a reasonable price. However, they need to be prepared to let go of whatever laissez-faire attitude towards the school they probably once had, and furnish their academic skills to thrive in this competitive environment.
