The student has option to specialize in the following areas:

•  Software Engineering
•  Computer Networks
•  Enterprise and Information Systems

 The objectives of the Bachelor of Computer Science include:

1. To provide an academic, research and training environment whose standards match those of recognised institutions of computer studies elsewhere.
2. To furnish Zambia with the computer skills and professional expertise necessary for national development.
3. To produce graduates who are able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles, and theories relating to computer science and software applications. They must have an understanding of the elements of computational thinking
4. To produce graduates who are able to deploy appropriate theory, practices, and tools for the specification, design, implementation, and maintenance as well as the evaluation of computer-based systems.
5. To ensure that graduates are guided by the social, professional, legal and ethical as well as cultural issues involved in the use of computer technology.
6. To produce graduates with practical capabilities and skills to specify, design, and implement computer-based systems. They must be able to apply the principles of effective information management and human computer interaction while taking into account security issues.
7. To produce graduates who are able to effectively use and deploy tools for the construction and documentation of software or system development and implementation.
8. To produce graduates who are able to communicate and work effectively as members of software development and/or implementation team while at the same time able to manage themselves.
