Overview Our four year BSc Computer Science Honours degree is oriented to constructing robust and useable systems. We aim to teach people not just how to deploy cutting edge tools and techniques, but how to build the next generation of software tools that other system constructors will use. This programme aims to give a well integrated balance of theoretical underpinnings and practical experience, strongly informed by the research expertise of our academic staff. Why study Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University's Dubai Campus? Unlike other universities, ours offers a technical programme that equips students with the right skills for programming and web development. We carry out extensive research in computer science subjects, which feeds into our teaching programmes, keeping them relevant and up to date. A large percentage of our graduates get good jobs following graduation. We have transfer options to our Edinburgh Campus, allowing students to complete their studies in the UK. Students who wish to remain in Dubai after graduating with an Honours degree can extend their studies by entering one of our postgraduate Master’s programmes Accreditation The Computer Science Department has been delivering BCS-accredited programmes for more than 30 years. Our Computer Science degree is accredited by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT on behalf of the Engineering Council, fully meeting the academic requirement for Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for a Chartered Engineer. It’s also accredited by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT on behalf of the Science Council for the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Scientist.
