Department of Computer Science and Technology
The need to provide greater access to computer education for the youth in the region has led VSU to develop a curricular program on computer science and establish the Department of Computer Science and Technology. The curriculum is designed for students who want to study computing in-depth, focusing on the software and hardware, and the underlying theory of computing and its applications to scientific and technical problem-solving.
DCST aims to equip students with the technical know-how in software development. Students enrolled in this program will be able to apply computer science theory in practical situations, and understand the social and ethical issues that arise from the increased use of technology in the society.
