Overview

Computation is defined as any type of calculation or use of computing technology that follows well-defined models (such as algorithms and protocols) in the practice of information processing. The study of computer science involves systematically studying, building, and testing methodical processes (such as algorithms) in order to aid the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, and communication of information.

The Computer Science BSc program offered at Khalifa University provides a strong understanding of the relationship between computer hardware and software and all related issues. It is key to many career opportunities in high-tech manufacturing, in software development, and in mobile and digital security. Students are offered opportunities to customize their education by selecting from a wide pool of technical elective courses.

Computer Scientists usually work in research laboratories that design, build and test various types of computer software models. Most work in high-tech manufacturing firms in the software development, mobile and digital security industries. There are also computer systems opportunities in design firms, research and development firms, or in governmental bodies such as defense, armed forces, police, health care and information technology (IT).
