The Department of Computer Science is housed in the Faculty of Computing and Informatics of the University. It provides a high-quality degree programme that ensures that students are able to integrate theory and practice, recognize the importance of abstraction and appreciate the value of efficient design created to meet clearly developed requirements. The Department is intended to prepare students for lifelong learning as they undertake professional careers in Computing. The Department adopts a broad strategy of human resource development that encompasses educational, technological, ethical and social development such that our graduates are sufficiently equipped to make valuable contributions to national development towards the attainment of the Vision 2030 of Nigeria and the Millennium Development Goals as set by the global community.
The Department intends to nurture graduates, who by leveraging their sound foundational training and skills in the Computing Sciences would become globally relevant in the industrial and academic domains, and eventually emerging as future leaders in the field of Computer Science both in Nigeria and the global community. The Department is committed to producing highly creative and innovative graduates that are competent enough to be self-employed in the field of Computer Science and its allied disciplines so as to be immediately employable. The Curriculum of Studies of this Department at undergraduate and postgraduate levels encompassed the needful essentials in all aspect of Computing, eg. Theoretical Computing, Artificial Intelligent, Computing Security, Business Computing, Basic Informatics as well as holistic Computing Technology that provide first-hand knowledge for practical performance in solving some existential problems.
The following types of jobs are positions where a degree in Computer Science is a major asset: Data scientist, Software tester, Web developer, Systems analyst, Business analyst, Product manager, Network architect, Software engineer, Software developer, Full-stack developer, Engineering manager, User interface designer, Database administrator, Cloud computing Engineer, Information security analyst, Computer science professor etc.
