The Advantages of Doing a B.Sc in Computer Science

B.Sc. or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is a three-year program that teaches the basics of software engineering, information technology, computer-related technologies. After pursuing B.Sc. you can go for M.Sc. to strengthen your knowledge in the field of Computer Science and go for good job opportunities.

Overview

The time span of the course is three years. There are a total of six semesters, each of which lasts 6 months. The course is a mix of theory and practicals in CS. At the end of the course, you will be able to understand the concepts of programming, algorithms, and mathematics, as well as how to apply them. Various domains that’ll be covered during the course are: 

• Artificial intelligence
• Computational mathematics
• Database development
• Electronics
• The functioning of computer operating systems
• Minor course modules in subjects of humanities
• Mobile computing
• Object-oriented programming
• Programming techniques
• Requirement-capturing
• Specialist hardware such as Arduino microcontrollers
• Computer languages like PHP, Java, Python, etc

Scope

In the digital age that we are living in, there is a wide scope to grow after the pursual of this course. One can work for the corporates or can go for research and development. The fields that you can go for after B.Sc (CS) are:

• Computer hardware system companies
• Computer networking companies
• Design and development companies
• Government as well as private IT, engineering and academic institutes
• Multi-national companies
• Software development companies

Here is a detailed list of jobs that you can pursue after completing the B.Sc in computer science:

Programmer: In this role, you will create software, APIs and other programmes using different languages like Java, C++, PHP, .NET, etc. You may be responsible for other roles too, like testing and debugging of the code.

Computer Scientist: A computer scientist is responsible for the development of new technologies through extensive research like systems or computer-based solutions that solve a particular business problem. It is a totally research-based profession.

Computer System Analyst: The role of a system analyst is to study and manage an organisation's current computer system, its design, and processes. The major role is to make the working of the organisation’s system more efficient and better.

Hardware Engineer: The role of a hardware engineer is to design, test, assess, and maintain computer-related hardware elements. The role also includes revamping of the present computer architecture and updating them according to requirements and latest models.

Lecturer/Professor: In case you pursue a Masters or PhD after completing B.Sc. CS, you can apply for the role of lecturer or professors in various universities. You can also carry out research in the field of computer science and get your papers published in renowned journals.

System Integrator: The individuals in this role specialise in building, designing, and implementing all the technological applications on the basis of business requirements. These professionals work along with the IT team in the IT department.

Overall job opportunities in this field are ample. If you are planning to pursue it, don’t think twice. Just remember one thing, maintain your academic scores throughout your college life and keep upgrading your skills by learning new programming languages and technologies.
