Computer Science in General

Computer science is considered by many of its practitioners to be a fundamental science - one which makes other knowledge and achievements possible. The study of computer science involves systematically studying methodical processes in order to aid the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. This is done by analyzing the feasibility, structure, expression and mechanization of these processes and how they relate to this information.

This is a digital age we are living in - where you like it or not, and digital age requires computer scientists. By studying computer science, you are almost guaranteed a good prospect with abundant income, especially if you graduate from one of the top universities that provide this subject.
