Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Webster University Geneva

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Webster University Geneva is designed for students who want to turn curiosity about technology into real technical expertise. You will study programming, systems, networks, and data-driven problem-solving in an international learning environment, preparing you for careers in software development, information technology, or further postgraduate study.

Curriculum Structure

First Year

Your first year is all about building confidence with core computing foundations. You begin with Computer Programming I and Computer Programming II, learning how to write clean, logical code and solve problems step-by-step. Alongside this, Mathematics for Computer Science strengthens your analytical thinking, giving you the tools needed for algorithms and structured programming later in the degree.

Second Year

In the second year, you start understanding how computers truly work behind the screen. Through modules such as Data Structures, Operating Systems, and Network Principles, you learn how information is organised, how hardware and software interact, and how devices communicate. These subjects develop the technical depth needed to move from simple coding to building efficient, scalable systems.

Third Year

By the third year, you shift from learning concepts to applying them in realistic development environments. Courses like Systems Analysis and Design guide you through planning and building software solutions, while electives in areas such as Database Design or Information Security allow you to tailor the degree to your interests. Team projects help you experience how professional software development works in practice.

Fourth Year

In your final year, everything comes together. You take advanced electives and complete senior-level project work that mirrors real industry challenges. By graduation, you will be able to design, develop, and evaluate complete computing solutions — ready to step into professional technology roles or continue to graduate study.
