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 study business and commerce while also taking significant courses in humanities — literature, history, philosophy, or social sciences — rather than focusing on business alone. This integration means you graduate with both a business foundation and the analytical and communication skills humanities develops, making you different from a straight commerce program. It suits students who want business skills but also value critical thinking across cultures and ideas, and who are comfortable with a broader curriculum.
