What it is	Computer Science at Trent is a degree in programming, algorithms, and how computers work at a fundamental level. You learn to write code, solve computational problems, and understand the theory behind software and systems. This is a traditional academic program rather than a work-integrated or professional track, so it suits students who want a broad foundation in computing before deciding on a career direction.	You earn a Science degree in one of several subjects — Computer Science, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Psychology, or Biology — while simultaneously completing teacher training to become certified to teach junior and intermediate grades. This direct-entry stream combines both degrees in one program, so you graduate ready to teach right away instead than doing them separately. It suits people certain they want to teach a science subject at the middle or high school level and want to complete both qualifications together.
