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.
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.
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.
Studying in one of the most prestigious central government institutions in the country Narsee Monjee has altogether been a life-changing experience.
The campus of our college is really beautiful.
The classes are spacious and the temperature of the rooms is well controlled.
The exposure to the industries and Mumbai opportunities is unmatched. Well on the same side, the rigid rules and some illogical regulations can sometimes stand against your way of living. Even the high fees and the competition within the premises to even score average is insane.
UVic has several places to eat on campus although they can sometimes be costly. Most students eat Mystic Market which has pizzas, chop box for noodles, Booster Juice, coffee and a general store. Its also a good place to study and get work done. The SUB (student union building) is also a popular place to eat. They have the health bar and a smoothie place for those that prefer lighter, healthier meals. There is also a grill available. Other than that there is the MOD where residents eat. The MOD serves hot dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. – 7 AM to 7:30 PM. Some buildings, such as the Bob Wright center and the Fine Arts building have their own small café/eateries. They may close sooner than the MOD.
Another popular place to eat/study is the Biblio cafe, right next to the library. Here you can enjoy hot and cold beverages and small snacks. I love sitting in Biblio booths with my friends. You are also free to get a coffee and work inside the library. Covid restrictions may change that though.
Overall, UVic has several places to eat and grab quick meals from.
