About this program
Computer Science
The Undergraduate Program in Computer Science is a 1st cycle degree, shaped after the Bologna model, that aims to provide graduates with a solid, coherent and comprehensive knowledge and training in Computer Science and Engineering, which can later be complemented and specialized in a Master-level Program.
Computer Science is vital for modern society, with computer systems becoming ubiquitous in the most varied areas of human activity, from Entertainment to Medicine, from Agriculture to the Arts, from Public Services to Banking and Communications. Computer Science and Engineering is the technical and scientific discipline that allows us to design and build the services, systems and products that support these activities, including business information systems, services such as Google, Facebook, Netflix, systems for autonomous cars, intelligent precision agriculture, computer games and augmented reality applications, media, mobile and web applications, Cloud Computing services and solutions for the Internet of Things and communications, as well as cryptocurrency systems and Blockchain platforms.

Qualification
Learning Outcomes
The Undergraduate Program in Computer Science aims to graduate Engineers with a comprehensive knowledge and training in Computer Science, able to act in the fields of IT, Computer Science, and related areas in activities compatible with the E1 qualification level of the Engineering Society (Ordem dos Engenheiros). Students can later further develop their qualifications in a Master-level Program, with this Undergraduate Program being the first step towards the training of an architect-level Computer Science Engineer qualified to develop project, leadership and innovation activities.
The curricular structure provides a solid, coherent and comprehensive training in Computer Science and in the fundamental disciplines for an Engineer, following the main recommendations of international professional societies, such as ACM and IEEE. This training is complemented with a set of transversal skills in the areas of communication and science, technology and society.
The Program offers the opportunity to develop an engineering or an introductory research project, to be carried out within a company, a research laboratory, or some other institution.
In the last twenty years, the Department of Computer Science at NOVA graduated more than two thousand students in its Undergraduate and Master Programs.
Career paths
Outputs Professionals
At the end of the Program, students can continue their education in the MSc in Computer Science at NOVA or in a similar Program, or enter the labour market.
Our graduates experience full employment rates, with former students occupying leadership positions in national and international companies, developing careers with recognized international projection, and creating innovative companies that operate in the global markets.
Our professionals join technological companies, start-ups, and IT departments of large companies and institutions, both national and international. In these companies and institutions, they contribute to the development and operation of services and products in areas as diverse as Innovation and Digital Transformation, Public Health and Personalized Medicine, Entertainment and Communications Systems, Digital Agriculture, Cybersecurity, Software Security, Arts, Banking and Financial Services, among others.
