Dear Student,
The Computer Science field is a very active and volatile one. It is subject to constant change due to new developments in technology and/or application of this technology in new areas. Our academic program in Computer Science aims to provide you with a solid foundation in the field of Computer Science and prepare you to become an effective computer professional. The program is based on both theory and practice with emphasis given to the concepts and techniques necessary for the design and development of advanced computer systems. The program conforms to the guidelines set by international Computer Science Organizations such as the British Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery. It includes a considerable number of major and elective courses of theoretical and applied nature. Finally, it is supported by state-of-the-art hardware and software facilities.
The aims of our program are achieved by including in the program several computer courses, as well as courses in mathematics, social science, and other areas. This builds program diversity and contributes to a foundation of a broad range of skills for positions in business and industry. Program aims are currently supported by the following computer scientists' concerns for:
The faculty members supporting our program are experienced and highly qualified lecturers and many of them have industry-related background and/or have worked abroad in other Universities. All hold postgraduate qualifications and the majority of them hold relevant Ph.D. degrees. Most of the lecturers are also actively engaged in research and have published and still publish papers in international scientific journals and conference proceedings. Moreover, they maintain research collaboration links with other universities abroad such as the University of London (Birkbeck College), the University of North London, De Montfort University, University of Illinois, Ohio State University and New Jersey Institute of Technology. Research work is carried out in the areas of Relational and Object-Oriented Databases, CASE Tools, Computer Graphics, Computer Architecture, Parallel Processing, Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, Statistical Methods, Medical Statistics, and finally, Computers in Education.
Upon graduation you will be ready for an entry level position in industry and for further graduate studies. Today, there is a huge demand for qualified computing personnel in the commercial and administrative fields. With our degree you will be looking at opportunities in programming, systems analysis and design, software engineering, Internet and Multimedia development, networking, as well as in any other computer-related jobs. By including another foreign language in your Elective courses you will open career pathways with multi-national companies in Cyprus and abroad.
During your studies, you will be assigned to an academic advisor who will help you choose courses, listen to your academic problems and provide solutions to them, advice you on study skills, help you develop as an independent learner and help you achieve your educational aims and goals. In addition to your academic advisor, the Computer Science Program Coordinator of your campus is available for any information or help you may require. Finally, please feel free to contact me personally if I can be of any assistance to you.
Welcome to Intercollege and to the Computer Science Program!
