Why study computer science?

In today’s digital age, computer science is at the heart of innovation and technological advancement. At University of Nigeria, Nsukka, we believe that studying computer science offers unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth.

The Computer Science discipline is unique because it provides a focus for convergence of technologies.  Its uniqueness naturally defines its role and dictates its increasing relevance in several disciplines and modern practices and techniques.  The scope of application of computer science in the modern scientific and technological context is, therefore, infinitely wide.  Students are equipped in the Department and are thus encouraged to function, research and engage in collaborative projects in wide professional contexts. The philosophy and objectives of the department can therefore be summarized in line with its vision and mission as follows:

To provide the enabling environment for the effective and efficient evolution of highly motivated staff and students with strong determination and impetus to compete globally. In consonance with the mission statement of the University, the Department is determined to advance the frontiers of research and academia in the perspective of information technology, by the development of internationally competitive manpower
