Transform Ideas into Impact: Discover the Power of the BSCS Course
From Code to Impact: Building Solutions for a Better World through Mastering the Art of Computer Science
Computer science is more than just code. It’s a way of innovating solutions to problems and challenges. It’s also a way of helping businesses grow, communities flourish, and making the world better.
For example, you can use your computer science degree to develop an app that minimizes food wastage in restaurants. Even better, you can build a system, so that the extra food that restaurants make go to homeless shelters. This way, you don’t only increase a restaurant’s profit, but you also help people in need.
And CIIT Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) teaches you all these and more. With us, you’ll become a powerful developer with extensive knowledge of the different programming and coding languages, including Java, C languages, HTML, and Python as you study a specialized curriculum backed by leading experts and organizations. Plus, you’ll be training under industry practitioners who have years of experience working in some of the top tech and software companies.
Furthermore, you’ll experience how your inventions and creations come to life as you use CIIT’s modern equipment and facilities, like our top-notch PC and iMac Labs, 3D Printer, Render Farm, and so much more. In addition to all of these, you’ll also gain practical experience and skills as you get the opportunity to intern among 100 of our company partners, including Amazon Philippines, Accenture, IBM, and Penbrothers.
With CIIT BSIS, you become a driving force in your career as you have the skills, experience, and knowledge to create technologies that have real-world impact.

What Makes CIIT’s BSCS Course Unique?
The everyday impression, or at least in pop culture, paints the programmer as a socially reclusive nerd, hunched over his computer. The reality couldn’t be more different. In this age of technology, millions of people live their lives, unconsciously reliant on the creations of programmers. Some of their creations are mobile apps that can serve many purposes in day-to-day life: the map that provides the fastest route to your destination, the wallet that lets you pay your tuition regardless of where you are; the eCommerce shop for anything and everything under the sun; and the messaging platform that allows you to communicate with your loved ones even when you’re miles away.
These apps and computerized systems are made by programmers to serve a need—a desire to improve day-to-day life. These are people who are inclined to take the BSCS course. They may spend all their time in front of their computers but the impact they create has the potential to change the world as we know it.
