Learn how to create, manipulate, and speak the language of technology, all while gaining hands-on experience applying these skills in real-world scenarios.

In Computer Science at Trent, you’ll develop a combination of knowledge and technical abilities as you explore everything from computer forensics, data mining, and web-application development, to graphics, artificial intelligence, and programming.

This degree will equip you with the necessary skills required for a successful career in the ever changing technology sector. For more in-depth studies, the Computing Systems stream offers three Specializations for the B.Sc. option:

Data Analytics: Hone your ability to analyze large scientific and retail datasets for practical application. This specialization provides a solid foundation in data analysis techniques, including parallel programming, visualization, data mining, and predictive modelling.

Software Engineering: In this hands-on specialization, you will learn how to design, implement, test, maintain, and document software solutions. With a focus on teamwork and collaboration both in and out of the classroom, you’ll gain the experience and interpersonal skills to meet the needs of today’s software creators and users.

Theoretical Computer Science: Working one-on-one with your professors, you’ll explore and develop applications that manipulate the speed and power of digital computation, design new models, and uncover new methods of problem solving. This specialization also equips you well for future graduate studies in Computer Science.

Interestingly enough and unique to this program, you can even pursue more than one specialization if you choose to do so.

A Computer Science degree, along with guaranteed career experience while you learn, prepares you for many possible career paths in a wide range of industries, including:
