Course Details:

Computer Science education encompasses a wide range of courses that cover various aspects of computer science and its applications.

Below are some common courses you encounter during a Computer Science program.

Introduction to Computer Science: This foundational course introduces the basic principles of computer science, algorithms, and programming concepts. It may cover topics such as problem-solving, data types, control structures, and an introduction to a programming language like Python or Java.

Data Structures and Algorithms: This course focuses on the study of fundamental data structures (arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, etc.) and algorithms (sorting, searching, graph algorithms, etc.). The course explores how to analyze the efficiency of algorithms and choose appropriate data structures for different applications.

Programming Languages: This course examines different programming paradigms, language syntax, and semantics. It covers topics such as functional programming, object-oriented programming, and scripting languages. Common languages studied include C++, Java, Python, and others.

Database Systems: This course introduces the principles of database design and management. It covers topics such as relational databases, SQL (Structured Query Language), normalization, indexing, and basic concepts of database administration.

Operating Systems: This course explores the fundamental concepts and components of operating systems. Topics may include process management, memory management, file systems, concurrency, and security.

Computer Networks: This course provides an understanding of computer network architecture, protocols, and communication. It covers topics such as network models (TCP/IP), routing, switching, network security, and wireless networks.

Software Engineering: This course focuses on the principles and practices of software development. It covers topics such as software life cycle models, requirements engineering, software design, testing, and project management.

Artificial Intelligence: This course introduces the foundations and applications of artificial intelligence. It covers topics such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and intelligent agents.

Web Development: This course explores the principles and technologies involved in building web applications. It may cover topics such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web frameworks, and server-side programming.

Cybersecurity: This course focuses on the principles and practices of securing computer systems and networks. It covers topics such as cryptography, network security, ethical hacking, and security policies.

Fees

Fees

Computer Science Education

The programme fees for Computer Science Education is charged at the start of Each Academic Year. However, students can pay 60% of the school fees before resumming for the first semester.

Additional Programme Cost

Strongly recommended: A laptop is very essential.
To ensure academic success, we strongly recommend that students obtain their own copies of the core textbooks for the courses they are enrolled in. Failure to do so may place students at a disadvantage in their studies. The number of required textbooks and associated costs will vary based on the number of courses selected for a given semester.

Living Cost

Living costs for the academic year commencing in 2023 are estimated to range from N60,000 to N350,000 for each academic session you spend at Anchor. Our academic session consists of two semesters, so typically, you would be in Anchor for approximately ten months per year. However, it is advisable to budget for a eleven-month period to ensure you have enough funds during holidays to cover essential expenses.

The cost of meals during the academic session will be on a pay-as-you-eat basis.
