Curriculum
The Undergraduate Program in Computer Science implements an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum that is systematically structured to progressively build students’ competencies over eight semesters. The visualization of the OBE Curriculum Mapping Diagram for the Undergraduate Program in Computer Science can be accessed through the following link.
The educational process in the Undergraduate Program in Computer Science is designed holistically to integrate the systematic development of soft skills alongside cognitive aspects. Students are trained to master communication skills, teamwork, scientific writing, and an innovative mindset grounded in professional ethics. These competencies are developed through group assignments, software projects, and internships/practical work in the industrial sector to ensure graduates are well-prepared to face global challenges.
Regarding the curriculum structure, students are required to take a package of courses in the first semester. In subsequent semesters, the course load in Semester Credit Units (SKS) is flexible and depends on the Semester Grade Point Average (GPA). Students with outstanding academic performance may optimize their study period by taking more SKS than the standard requirement, with coordination with their academic advisors.
