CSE Department Programmes
“Challenging today, reinventing tomorrow”
The department of Computing and Technology at Uganda Christian University provides training in six undergraduate programs and five postgraduate programs (including a PhD in Computer Science) available. All programs offered are accredited by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in Uganda.
The undergraduate offerings consist of a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, a Bachelor of Science in Data Science & Analytics, a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, a Bachelor of Science in Electronics & Communication Engineering, a Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics & Robotics Engineering, and a Diploma in Information Technology. The postgraduate options include a Master of Science in Computer Science, a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics, a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, a Master of Information Technology and a PhD in Computer Science.
Our undergraduate programs incorporate hands-on workshop practice and industry internships during breaks between semesters. This approach enables students to attain technician-level competence within the first year and to design or create solutions for complex technology engineering problems in the second year. By the time they reach their final year, graduates are able to apply advanced knowledge to design, develop, manage, and effectively communicate technology and engineering solutions in their chosen areas of specialization.
