The faculty of Computer Sciences and Information Technology was established in December 2001 to satisfy an urgent need for a program of advanced study & training in the ever-developing field of Information Technology. Our objective is to achieve levels of qualification worthy of being recognized by the relevant international computer science institutions. The faculty offers a distinguished program tailored to prepare the students for an interesting and rewarding career in the burgeoning computer industry underpinning the economic growth and social development of the world today. Information Technology plays a vital role in all aspects of our lives and has become an essential function in the activities of both private and public institutions. We endeavor to turn out career-ready graduates well trained in current technologies and equipped with the necessary foundation and theoretical knowledge to enable them to update their skills and keep abreast of new developments in a fast moving industry. Our curriculum is designed to give students a solid grounding in both theoretical and practical topics in computer sciences. We continually review our curriculum to keep abreast with the latest development in computer science education. Our computer facilities are of the highest specifications. All laboratories are linked together through a superior digital network linking over 300 computers, which are connected to the internet through a high-speed broadband connection. Our laboratories and lecture theatres are equipped with modern audiovisual equipment, employing large format plasma screen technology, for efficient and accurate instruction and delivery of the subject materials.
High secondary school certificate or equivalent with a minimum of 70% with at least seven passes in seven subjects obtained at one and the same examination. In case of O level / I GCSE a pass in each basic science subject (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) Mathematics, English Language + any two other subjects, obtained at one and the same examination. Having satisfied the minimum university admission requirements above, preference in selection to the Faculty of Computer Sciences and Information Technology will be given to students who performed best in the following five subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English language and Biology / Additional Mathematics.
The faculty offers the following two degree programs, each of which is a four year full time course leading to the award of a B.Sc. degree.
Computer Science: Computer Science is the study of the theoretical and practical aspects of computer technology and computer usage. Computer Science graduates will have both theoretical and practical understanding of modern computer systems. The course covers a range of topics and skills that are required in today’s computing and information technology industry.
Computer Science and Information Technology: The program combines the fundamental content of both Computer Science and Business Management to prepare graduates to combine business enterprise requirement with computing expertise. The program is designed for students seeking to aquire a high level of knowledge of business concepts and information system applications to create solutions for contemporary business problems. The students will aquire the skills needed to integrate hardware, software and management capacities to solve problems at corporate level as well as in the specific functional areas of business.
