Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The Faculty offers Bachelor’s degree of three-year duration (traditionally referred to as the General degree). Admission of students to the Bachelor of Science degree programmes is done by the UGC based on the performance (Z-Score) in the G.C.E. (A/L) examination.

Biological Science stream and Physical Science stream students who have passed the G.C.E. (A/L) Examination and have satisfied all the respective entrance requirements are admitted to the Faculty by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Students are also admitted by the UGC directly to a subject-specific programme. This type is referred to as Direct-Intake and, at present, this exists only in Computer Science. These students follow a three-year degree programme.

The Faculty of Science aims to instill in its Bachelor of Science graduates the competencies in academic disciplines, personal and professional skills and citizenship attributes through its teaching, learning and research activities and enhancement of the advisory and support services, and cultural, social, and sports related extracurricular activities.
