Computer Science Programme (in English) is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the Bahraini, regional and international labour market. The Computer Science Programme combines a sound theoretical foundation with a high level of practical expertise in all areas of the discipline, including the algorithms that formed the software, the interaction between software and hardware, software design, development and testing. The Programme focuses on laboratory, training and experience and promotes the cultivation of personal skills. The Programme complies with international standards of ACM/ IEEE Computer Science Curriculum. It is also regularly reviewed and benchmarked with local, regional and international universities, supported by an advisory board and formal/ informal market studies to ensure that the Programme and Curriculum stay relevant to trends in the labour market.
The staff in Computer Science are members of IEEE, Oracle Academy, and ICT Huawei Academy. It is worth mentioning that the Computer Science Programme has received full confidence from the Bahrain Education and Training Quality Authority (BQA) – Cycle 2 and was placed successfully on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
The Computer Science Programme is supported by many courses that require students to develop their theoretical and applied knowledge, refine analytical and critical thinking skills, and use scientific research methods and modern communication technologies to be prepared to face the challenges and opportunities of the Bahraini and Gulf market. Students’ capabilities are built, strengthened and developed throughout the Programme. Therefore, they can practice what they learn through various courses in specialised computer laboratories and critical studies. A large part of the learning process is achieved through the constant exchange of discussion with fellow students and lecturers and the presentation and discussion of their work with peers and experts.
The Computer Science Programme aims to prepare a Graduate capable of:
- Competing and meeting the needs of the local and regional labour market.
- Utilising knowledge and skills in various computer fields to solve work problems and generate new ideas, creativity and innovation.
- Utilising knowledge of scientific research methodologies of Computer Science and analysing and interpreting results.
