Computer Science has changed the world we live in and defined the modern digital era. The rapid advancement of computer hardware and software technology in the last few decades has accelerated innovation and increased automation.

Without Computer Science there would be no computers, laptops, and phones (phones are essentially computers too!). Computer scientists and the study of Information Systems contribute to new technologies, including interactive multimedia and virtual reality systems.

This subject will teach you how to use computers to make the world work as it does. You will learn how to make a computer behave as you want it to -- this may involve making a robot move something from one end of a room to another, or making a calculation which saves someone's life in a medical ward, or it could be creating a whole new world through building pictures or sound or building a computer system so that other people can do this.

You will learn how computers work together in building networks like the internet, how teams of people build systems, and how computers can be made to behave like people, among many other topics.

The study of this discipline will give you the lifelong skills which you can use in a whole variety of jobs ranging from management, consulting, programming, and information systems administration applicable in IT companies large or small.
