Introduction
The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science (BCS) teaches the main techniques to elaborate, memorize and transmit information, as well as how to solve complex problems dealing with automated information processing
Program Outcome
The Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science (BCS) trains people with a solid foundation and a broad spectrum of skills in the field of information science and technology.
The BCS graduate is a professional with the ability to:
- analyze complex systems (companies, services, natural and artificial systems)
- identify crucial processes in a systematic way
- propose models and solutions that can be implemented using technologies and IT systems.
The capabilities developed by studying universal scientific tools and methods allows our graduates to quickly fit into different work contexts, adapting to the rapid innovation that characterizes the sector.

Career Opportunities
The structure of the bachelor's degree allows both access to higher levels of study in the IT area and direct entry into the working world at the end of the program (through solid technical training in the various IT fields, for example, networks, systems, data management, and representation). Graduates in Computer Science can access work activities in the design, organization, development, management, and maintenance of IT systems.
For students who wish to continue their curriculum with a master's degree, many opportunities can open up in managerial careers, where solid competencies in the principles of complexity and problem-solving are combined with abilities to interact, develop teamwork, and propose innovative solutions. In this field, the space given to individual skills is broad and IT is still a sector where innovative companies created by enterprising young people often beat much more consolidated companies on time and quality.
The course prepares for the professions of:
- Programming technicians
- Technical administrators of networks and telematic systems
- Database administrator technicians
- Application technicians.
