Bachelor in Computer Science (Evenings and Weekends Schedule)

The part-time Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program consists of 180 credits spread over 3 annual blocks. 

It is structured around the following objectives: 

• To learn how to manage, design, and develop innovative, high-value-added projects for businesses that drive progress for society. 
• To understand the organizational environment in which applications operate, particularly the relationships between information technology, individuals, businesses, and society. 
• Master information and communication technologies: programming, databases, operating systems and networks, artificial intelligence, security, information systems, and more. 
• Become architects of large-scale IT applications: in the medical field, the banking and financial sector, telecommunications, government, research and development, and the scientific sector. 

Collaborative Work to Foster Independence and Critical Thinking 

Starting in the first year of the bachelor’s program, the curriculum includes a major programming project. 

The personal project at the end of the bachelor’s program prepares students for scientific writing. Emphasis is placed on the precise formulation of a problem (definition, context, motivation, applicability, originality, complexity, questions raised, etc.) and on developing a review of the current state of the art. Several workshops (scientific research, writing, oral presentation) help students acquire the skills required for writing a scientific paper and… a master’s thesis. 

An e-learning platform provides access to course materials (slides, syllabus, reference articles, exercises, etc.) and facilitates communication among all participants (students, instructors, etc.) through forums, group discussions, and more. 

The inter-faculty academic support unit is available year-round to provide methodological assistance as needed. Individual consultations with an advisor can be arranged in person or remotely. 

Do you have what it takes? 

Test your knowledge and skills with “Passports to the Bac.” 

Starting in the first year, the “Passports to the Bac” allow you to compare your current knowledge and skills with what your teachers expect. Based on your results on these tests, the Faculty offers remedial sessions.  This helps you fill in any gaps in your knowledge and sets you up for success. The results are not factored into your end-of-year evaluation. 

Are your study methods effective? 

To succeed in your first year, you need effective study strategies. 

If you’re having trouble with your study methods, the Interfaculty Academic Support Unit offers individual appointments or small-group workshops upon request.  Throughout the year, an academic coordinator is available in the School of Computer Science to review your study methods and techniques and help you improve them.  

Classes are held in Namur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. However, some classes are held on Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (particularly for students in their final year of the bachelor’s program) and on Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Our training programs are eligible for paid educational leave in all three regions. For more information, visit the regional websites: Brussels Economy and Employment; Wallonia Public Service; and Vlaams opleidingsverlof (VOV). 

All the information on educational leave 

For various reasons, particularly professional ones, students may request a reduced course load for their academic year by September 30. 

After the January exams, first-year bachelor’s students may request a reduced course load for the second quadrimester. This modified course load is determined in consultation with the academic committee and may include specific remedial activities.
