BSc in Computer Science and Engineering

Objectives of DSTI Bachelor in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)

The following are the major objectives of DSTI Bachelor in Computer Science & Engineering:

• Acquire expertise in information systems. Learn to design, maintain, and optimize these systems on cloud computing platforms and in hybrid environments.
• Master Software & Data Engineering. Develop skills to design and interact with various database types. Learn to design 'back-office' or 'backend' applications for handling large data, up to Big Data.
• Start a career in Cybersecurity. Learn Cybersecurity fundamentals to protect user systems. Understand threat identification, and security tools, and implement security measures.
• Get ready for professional certifications. Pass diverse professional certifications aligning skills and profiles with market needs.

Graduates of the DSTI Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) programme gain the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

They also learn to communicate effectively and function on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives. Students also learn to conduct appropriate experimentation, analyse and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions in a variety of technical roles that revolve around computing, hardware, and software.

The US Bureau of Labour Statistics predicts an 11% job growth in data engineering by 2029.

Secondary Education or Baccalaureate in the French System

To be considered for admission in DSTI Bachelor programmes based on secondary education and baccalaureate results, applicants must meet the following criteria:

In the penultimate year (Première)

For students enrolled in the General & Technological Baccalaureate Track during their penultimate year (Première), we require an Annual Average Grade of 14/20 or above in each of the following subjects.

• Any selected science and/or technological courses
• French
• English

In the final year (Terminale)

In the final year (Terminale), we require students to have average grades of 14/20 or above at the time of application and to maintain this standard upon obtaining their baccalaureate. Additionally, a minimum of two acceptable specialisations is required in each of the following tracks.

General Track

• Mathematics
• Physics-Chemistry
• Digital and Computer Sciences
• Engineering Sciences
• Life and Earth Sciences
• Economics Technological Track

“Sciences and Technologies of Industry and Sustainable Development (STI2D)” series

• Physics-Chemistry and Mathematics
• Engineering, Innovation, and Sustainable Development

“Sciences and Technologies of the Laboratory (STL)” series

• Physics-Chemistry and Mathematics
• Biochemistry-Biology

“Sciences and Technologies of Design and Applied Arts (STD2A)” series

• Physics-Chemistry
• Digital Tools and Languages

International Secondary Education or equivalent to the French Baccalaureate, inc. International Baccalaureate (IB)

We will examine applications on a case-by-case basis, looking for equivalence to the criteria mentioned for secondary education in France.

For general guidance, a GPA >= 3 is expected.

In the case of Francophone countries that have retained, in their general tracks, the former ES, L, & S (or even A ,B, C, & D series) series, the scientific S track (regardless of the option) will be favoured, followed by the ES (Economics & Social) track with a mathematics option.
