Bachelor in Computer Sciences [180.0] - SINF1BA
General objectives
This bachelor's programme offers a general approach to computer science in the context of basic university training. The bachelor's programme leads to the title of " Bachelor of Computer Science" and upon completion of this first cycle of studies, the student will be granted access to the master's programme in computer Science. This university-level training in computer science trains future specialists capable of creating and elaborating complex and efficient computing systems that satisfy the numerous and ever-increasing needs in our society. It thus trains "software creators" rather than pure programmers. More specifically, the bachelor's programme in computer science aims at the acquisition of the following technical competences and skills :
Computer science comprises the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to develop and understand complex software systems. In addition to this technical and more applied knowledge, to become a professional computer scientist, the student has to develop some extra skills such as a creative ability and critical mindset. These studies also train students to become responsible young professionals, capable of apprehending the complex socio-economic world into which computing science is embedded, and to take decisions which are both technically sound and humanly responsible. The bachelor's programme in computer science thus aims at the acquisition of other competences, such as :
The course content and activities are evaluated in accordance with the prevailing rules of the University (see the exam regulations).
Most of the courses include at least one evaluation during the course of the quadrimester (ongoing evaluation), in addition to a final examination during the exam sessions (in January, June or September).
