Computer Science VinUniversity

Overview

The Computer Science from VinUniversity objectives of the BSCS program are that within a few years of graduation, graduates will:

• Apply basic knowledge of computer science principles and in-depth knowledge of specific computing topics (such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, or software engineering practice) to address the full range of technical and societal problems in professional practice, industry, or advanced academic study;
• Conceive, design, and realize useful products, systems, and services, while properly respecting economic, environmental, cultural, life safety, and ethical standards or constraints encountered in professional or research environments;
• Discover and apply new knowledge, and develop new tools for the practice of computer science or software development;
• Be sensitive to professional and societal contexts, committed to ethical action, engaged in life-long learning and be prepared for future academic career, should they want one;
• Be leaders with an entrepreneurial mindset, capable of critical thinking and creativity, and effective communicators as members of multidisciplinary teams, both in the profession and in the community;
• Engage with their communities, profession, the nation and the world.

The PEOs are intended to enable the majority of our graduates to demonstrate excellence in top graduate programs; or in technical and managerial leadership tracks in technology-based industries or other sectors; or pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. In these roles, they make significant contributions to Vietnam, South East Asia region, and the world.

Students should be able to:

• Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions;
• Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline;
• Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions;
• Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts;
• Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles;
• Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
