Overview
This Computer Science degree will see you combine skills from program design and data structures to artificial intelligence and cyber security. You'll bring together your technical and problem-solving abilities to build upon fundamental computing concepts.
Based in Portsmouth and St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, you’ll develop theoretical knowledge around programming, software engineering and computational thinking while enhancing cross-cultural communication. You'll discover what computers can do to support the needs of society.
You’ll experience life in another country, taking in a new culture, and gain a global perspective on computer science that will help you secure your ideal career when you graduate.
Advantages of dual degrees
This course is a dual degree (also known as a double degree).
When you complete the course successfully, you'll have 2 degrees – one from the University of Portsmouth and one from Brock University.
Dual degrees allow you to achieve 2 degrees in 3.5 or 4 years rather than 6 years.
You'll benefit from a global education experience and the high-calibre teaching expertise, latest research and modern facilities at two universities. You'll also develop a more comprehensive knowledge of communication and media than on a single degree and gain an understanding of different cultures, which will help you work more effectively with people from different backgrounds.
All of this will help you stand out in a competitive job market after you graduate.
