Introduction
With the increasing importance of computers and information technology (IT) in the workplace, computer knowledge is an indispensable skill for almost all professional fields. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree provides students with necessary training and technical knowledge in various aspects of software for the IT industry. The course prepares skilled IT professionals who are able to meet the demands of the job market and the broader economy, particularly in the development of computer application systems for companies in Cambodia.
Upon completion of this four year degree, students are proficient in:
- Designing and coding structured programs in commonly used computer languages;
- Performing computer programming and object-oriented programming;
- Utilizing database management systems
- Effectively developing network and Internet systems
- Applying structured and object-oriented development approaches in software development
- Assisting in formulating and developing Client-Server solutions and Client-Sever database systems
- Identifying the components in various computer systems configurations.
Background
The Department of Computer Science was established in 1990 in response to the government's National Information Technology plan for 2000-2005, which aimed at increasing the progress of computer information technology within Cambodia and other developing countries in the region. In accordance with this plan, the department trains Cambodian students to be skilled IT professionals in order to share the benefits of IT in a global network.
Admission
Admission to the degree of Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) is administered by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, based on sound results in the High School Certificate subjects of Mathematics and Physics.
Assessment
The course consists of lectures, tutorials, and programming practices. Students are assessed based on performance in written projects, presentations, discussions, workshops and formal examinations. Around 30% of the final assessment mark is calculated based on students� practical work.
During their final year, students undertake work experience in a professional work environment, in an industry, factory, company, service or government ministry, where they combine their theoretical learning and practical study conducted at university with real-world experience in the field.
Resources
Computer Science students have access to approximately 500 computers in several PC laboratories at RUPP. The university has also created links with various public and private organizations to give students the opportunity to put theory into practice in a professional environment. Companies where students can gain work experience include the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, Mobitel, Camnet, Metfone, Mfone and Online companies.
