List of Universities offering Computer Science
So you want to study Computer Science…. This means you’re a science student but do have have what it takes? I mean it is not enough to know the list of Nigerian Universities that offers Computer Science. You need to know the WAEC subject that you need to study Computer Science as well as the JAMB subjects. This the first steps toward studying Computer Science in Nigeria universities. You will need other documents too for pre-screening and Matriculation screening.
Your JAMB score, Post UTME score and WAEC Grade will be calculated and the aggregate score is what determine if you qualify to study Computer Science. Moreover, those who got their O level result in one sitting have a better chance of getting admission to study Computer Science than those using two sitting.
Do you know that Computer Science is one of the most popular courses in Nigeria and very competitive in the university. Competitiveness means many students want to gain admission to study this course. Once a course is competitive, it simply means certain measures are put in place to make sure they limit the number of students they can admit. Such limitation includes high jamb cut off mark, a limited number of admissible students, strict subject combinations etc.
But what is so special about this course… Let me give you a little info about Computer Science before you go through the list of universities that offers Computer Science.
Computer Science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computer systems. It can also be defined as the study of automating algorithmic processes. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
Its fields can be divided into a variety of theoretical and practical disciplines. Some fields, such as computational complexity theory (which explores the fundamental properties of computational and intractable problems), are highly abstract, while fields such as computer graphics emphasize real-world visual applications. Other fields still focus on challenges in implementing computation.
You ought to know which department the course belongs to. This is the very reason I have compiled this list. A course might be studied in the Science department of a university or Engineering Department in another university. While the latter will be science oriented, the former will be focus on Engineering. Same course but a different approach. Below is a comprehensive list of higher institutions in Nigeria offering Computer Science according to faculties
