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.

    The whole program

    I would definitely recommend studying at KTU since most of the learning materials are up-to-date, and the modules are interesting and valuable. In addition, KTU has many partners, which allow students to go for academic exchange to different countries and live student life from different perspectives. .

    Software engineering

    As program is software engineering most of program is towards more computer science. Which means creating real working system for projects is mainly your own responsibility how much you will learn on your own. Other than that as viewing it from computer science prespective they show a lot of variety of tools. Brings basic knowledge in many fields that you will be able to try. As for real life working skills as software developer there are very few things they teach that is applicable in work. But what it truly does provides assigments that at beginning you would be struggling to start but at the end you will always find a way out how to complete it. So what it provides is problem solving skills and preparing for real world when in work you have a hard task don’t know where to start but at least you try, research and try to make things work. I would really recommend this study program to those, who are really passioned about programming and has a high motivation level.

    Decent program for the tuition fee

    I think this university is good for people who are good at self studying and learning by themselves, it provides basic foundation to be good in IT.
    It covers most of the topics that ranges from modeling systems to computer engineering and mostly computer science.

    KTU

    Im currently a second year student in KTU, Data science and engineering study program. As I see it so far, this program was created with a collaboration of big tech companies, because there’s quite a big demand for this type of specialist, at least in the context of Lithuania business. This program is manly involved in expanding programing and mathematical knowledge, with the latter being quite a challenge compared to what i got through in school. There is quite the diversity in modules, lectured for this program, some being quite engaging, and others (to put it lightly) who don’t make any sense (the theory teaching one thing, and for assingments you are trown into doing exact opposite), the latter appearing mostly in the programing based lectures.
    Overall, I like the concept and the opportunities, which this university promises with the degree, but there are some moment’s when you just question the methods of achieving said knowledge.
    P.S. in my opinion anyone can learn programing here, but if you struggle with math, you will suffer here

    Study programme is of good quality

    University provides many opportunities for the students: talent academy, several professional skills development academies, scholarships, a variety of student societies (their interests include debates, arts, science, chess, philosophy and etc.).

    There are some well prepared study programmes. On the other hand, some (the new ones) still need adjusting.
