Computer science is the study and understanding of the design of computers systems and its processes and applications. It is useful for the purpose of information management and information transfer. It spans a variety of areas from mathematics and science to engineering and can be used in a variety of industries. Because of its central focus on processes and manipulation of data, the discipline requires a fundamental understanding of algorithms and information processes. Students need to have a clear understanding of theoretical studies, experimental methods, and engineering design. At Université Cheikh Anta Diop, students can study for an undergraduate degree, a bachelor of science in computer and information science. Students can choose from a variety of concentrations, including computational mathematics, computer science, information systems, and multimedia computing. Upon completion of a bachelor's degree, students are able to begin work in a variety of fields: software applications development, computer systems analysis or engineering, network systems administration, database management/administration, or Web development. Students can also continue on to higher degrees in computer science or computer engineering.
