Computer Science
Introduction
In this fast-moving era, Computer Science (CS) has gone beyond the simple use of computer software. With the
third wave of computing (pervasive computing), the most recent advancement in the computing and technology
field, graduates need the ability to understand, create, and support applied computing solutions for their own
businesses, their clients, or their employers. This program encourages and challenges students in the areas of:
• General CS, and
• Pervasive Games Technology

In becoming familiar with a broad range of information technologies and how they are used, the students develop
the ability to specify and manage the implementation of a wide range of applications to support various needs and
the ability to design, develop, and implement viable technological solutions using appropriate platforms, tools, and
techniques. The program provides the students with the technical, entrepreneurial, and specialized skills needed
to develop and design applications across modern platforms, such as Cloud, the Web, and mobile, in a rapidly
changing IT environment.
The Computer Science program has an “A” grade accreditation - the highest level of accreditation that can be given
to a private higher education program in Indonesia - and it is designed to provide graduates with a thorough
understanding of the theories, methods, and systems used by the computing industry. It produces graduates who
are knowledgeable and creative, who have excellent programming skills, who are capable of designing,
implementing, and maintaining innovative software systems, and who are readily adaptable to new advances in
the rapidly changing IT environment. The program provides double degree and intensive specialist courses in
interesting computing areas such as:

• Pervasive Software Engineering • Games Design and Programming

• Cloud and Distributed Systems • Advanced Games Design and Programming
• Multimedia and Human Computer Interaction • Technopreneurship

• Web Application Development and Computer • Intelligent Systems

Security • Data Science

• Computer Networks and Security • Computer Graphics

• Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing • Network Forensics

Students experience a vast range of innovative learning processes, from blended learning to experiential; student
centered, flipped classroom, and Hackerspace/Makerspace. Students get the opportunity to be future
entrepreneurs by getting engaged in a series of entrepreneurial courses (Project Hatchery and Entrepreneurship
Hatchery), which focus on technology and provide them the necessary skills and knowledge to create and market
their work.

The curriculum also provides a scheme and platform whereby through the 3+1 program, students may choose from
creating a startup company, internship, research, or community development work that is suitable for their future
goals in the final year of their studies. Students benefit from having an internationally recognized curriculum in an
internationally diverse environment, get an opportunity to work on international projects, and attain professional
certifications in major areas of the IT industry that will enable them to be successful in their careers.

Prospective Careers of the Graduates

Computer Science graduates are able to gain employment as computing professionals in a number of fields, such
as systems analysis and design, software engineering, applications software development (enterprise and mobile),
network computing (forensics and security), and multimedia production, including graphics, animation, and games.
Graduates may join commercial organizations, government institutions, financial institutions, telecommunications
companies, IT companies, or other organizations. The career opportunities are unlimited for Computer Science
graduates.

A wide range of career opportunities in IT and the computer industry are introduced in which students will be
prepared throughout the four years of study. The integrated curriculum is designed and developed to support
students in building on their technical and non-technical skills as well as engaging with the industry. Typical starting
career positions include:
• Web developer
• Software engineer
• Network administrator
• Computer security professional
• Multimedia systems developer
• Games developer
• Technical artist
• Database developer
• IT sales engineer
• Data Scientist
• Business application developer
• IT project planner

Since computer science graduates are considered as engineers, they are also able to obtain employment as
professionals in non-IT fields, including sales, marketing, and management. Thus, the career opportunities are
unlimited for computer science graduates.

The single-degree program streams provide an internship program for each student, wherein the student may
conduct real projects as a practical study within an industrial context. The program develops the student’s ability to
be involved in professional practices, and ethical and organizational responsibilities. Furthermore, the industrial
internship program provides students with real experience in the workplace and teaches them to cope with the
work environment. In addition, a series of study/field trips to visiting professionals and industries will be conducted
to give good grounds for having a broad overview of the industry. These experiences support individual career
aspirations and may provide social and professional networks.

BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL also provides career support for students by disseminating information on
the latest job vacancies, internships, and workshops. This support service can be accessed at:
