BSc CS Program Requirements

Are divided into:

  • Core Courses
  • CS Elective Courses
  • Business Background Courses

While all courses are theoretically available during the period of study, there are three qualifying factors that may limit the number of courses in reality:

  1. Students must meet the prerequisites requirements.
  2. Course availability depends on the demand and actual resources.
  3. With the exception of the core courses, program elective course selection should be guided by individual preferences and future career aspirations.
