Program structure
In the first year of the Computer Science course, you will dedicate yourself to acquiring strong proficiency in computer programming and essential math skills. In subsequent years, software engineering majors will provide you with the skills you need to create software and innovative ways to use it. Examples include web applications, computer games, mobile applications, and the software contained on the devices we use every day (for example, mobile phones, entertainment systems, and automobiles).
In year three, you will have the opportunity to spend six months in a paid job. The INTRA program integrates academic study with closely related jobs and will help you stand out in the graduate job market.
You will complete major projects in years three and four. These projects give you the opportunity to put into practice the software development techniques studied in class.
