Computer Science
MODULE: Computer Science
Program delivered by distance learning higher education up to a maximum of 48 credits. This module may be combined or completed with other online university courses from this faculty.
DESCRIPTION:
This program provides broad coverage of the entire computer science discipline from a generic perspective, rather than from the context of one particular programming language. It is suitable for students in all fields who are interested in learning how computers work, how they are built and how they communicate with other computers and with their human users. The program includes proficiency on the latest available software from a user point of view, information on data compression, analysis of algorithms, network security, encryption and database systems. It finally reviews some of the ethical, legal, and practical issues surrounding these and other topics.

A further option is the enrollment into the online university courses listed in this module.
* University Course (3 credits): Select 1 subject from this module.
* Specialist Diploma (15 credits): First 5 subjects or select 5 subjects from this module.
* Expert Diploma (21 credits): First 7 subjects or select 7 subjects from this module.
* Bachelor's Degree (130 credits): The Admission certificate issued after submission of the application for admission will show the amount of credit transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete this undergraduate program's major. Additional courses from other modules of this faculty will be assigned in case that the credits displayed on this module are not enough to complete the bachelor's required credits.
* Master's Degree (35 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 13 credits corresponding to a final project to the selected subjects.
* Ph.D. (Doctor) (45 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 18 credits corresponding to a final thesis to the selected subjects.
BIU issues an admission certificate after receiving your complete application for admission. This document will show the amount of credits transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete the degree program's major. BIU can not perform this evaluation without the complete application for admission.
