What it isThis program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You study programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. It suits people who enjoy problem-solving and logical thinking, whether you want to work in industry, research, or develop your own applications.You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.A BComp General program teaches you the core theory and practice of building software and computer systems. Unlike specialized streams, this version lets you choose your own focus area — whether that's artificial intelligence, games, web development, or something else — rather than following a set path. It suits students who want solid computer science foundations and the freedom to explore different applications before committing to a specific specialization.
