Computer Science HBSc

Computer science is concerned in the broadest sense with the study of computation and applications of computing. Its development has been stimulated by collaborations with many areas including engineering, the physical and life sciences, mathematics and statistics and commerce. However, computer science is much more than a set of techniques used in these application areas. Computer science as a discipline encompasses a wide range of research areas. For example, human-computer interaction is the study of computer usage patterns and the design of interfaces between users and computing systems. Software engineering includes both the process of building software and the study of software production as a business. Systems (networks, operating systems, databases, compilers) is concerned with the design and analysis of complex computing systems.
