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 vs scholarship

    I study computer science , the courses are good . It’s a good city and university for erasmus program, but there are some issues.
    First of all the residence permit card, it takes around 7 months to get it and in best case we have it only 1-2 month , then it will expired. second problem is about scholarship , the university accepts lot of student but the Veneto region do not have enough budget for scholarship and a lot of student will face serious problems about it . The city is beautiful and people are nice.

    Master IT

    After the Electric Electronic Engineering bachelor’s department, the master’s program at Padova University came to me more hard and intense with different courses. But you can choose your path for your career. For students, life is fun and has an international environment. The language and culture are so wonderful. People are kind and helpful.

    Simple Review

    Since I do not have the competence to criticize the quality of education, I cannot give an opinion, but I think that the university’s being in the top 200 is an indication that it is quite qualified. Professors are good and understanding in their field. The only thing that surprises me is that the courses in master’s degree are very theoretical.

    Lessons are very hard.

    My lessons are generally very hard. And more of the lessons are theoretical. So I needed to do the practice. They include mathematic problems. Laboratory lessons were fewer. But our projects were very well. I learned a lot of things.

    Best course ever

    I chose this course because I am keen on all the things that concern informatics and technology. Padova’s University is maybe one of the best in our region for what concerns didactic.
    It is hard and your free time will be less than before due to a large number of exams but gives also great satisfaction.

    New Opportunities for Everyone

    The beginning of Economics Bachelor was hard but by the time I got to the Master program centring on Computer Science, I was feeling in my waters. I was allowed to discover on my own what I am best at. The university professors and administration are really understanding of students who want to change their program of study or just try new classes in the process. I was very satisfied with the two-year program which led me to find some valuable lessons and contacts among my peers.
