About the Programme
Computer Science is a discipline that uses theoretical concepts, principles, innovations to logic-based problem solving techniques to design algorithms and software systems based on sound mathematical foundations, engineering and scientific procedures. It broadly covers the theory of computing, architecture, systems, system infrastructures, application technologies with
design, and analysis of software methods and technologies.
This course looks at central ideas and major technological advances in the field of computer science, and how these developments have shaped modern society through the IT revolution.
