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.
The university is good overall based on service, lectures, accommodation and classes the only downside is some of the units in courses provided need to be revised and Improved upon. Facilities are top notch especially for medicine, law, IT and music related courses
View moreKabarak university is different from other universities because we are taught and do everything in biblical perspective from studies to innovations . Apart from that the social network among students is electrifying
View moreI think Kabarak University is a great place to study. I love the fact that it is located in a cool and serene environment away from noise. The nature around it is also incredibly beautiful.
I just think that if they would increase Wi-Fi distribution services, it would be better.
Yeah, I would totally recommend it.
My experience at Kabarak University was very good, from the location, which is very conducive for studying since it is away from the urban areas. The lecturers and staff are also very friendly and understanding, especially on issues of exam missing marks which give a lot of problems to students from other universities.
I would highly recommend the universities to other students.
Kabarak University is a classy institute that is located in Nakuru, Kenya. The university has the best student accommodation on the campus. The campus hostels are spacious enough well ventilated always clean and affordable. Any student who wants to use the facility has to register with the dean of students and a room is allocated to him/her and the liability of taking care of the room lies with the student. I live in the hostels and the experience is awesome.
View moreKabarak University is a private luxurious university based in Nakuru County, Kenya. The university is one of the most expensive institutions in the region as it charges high tuition fees and the standards set are high. The university targets students from Middle-High income-earning households and thus leaves the rest of the students out of the pecking order. However, the university excels academically and produces great minds.
