B.Sc. in Computer Science
The School of Computer Science (SCS) at Reykjavik University collaborates actively with international unversities and institutions, both in teaching and research. Moreover, SCS collaborates with the local industry, e.g. in the form of final projects. Thus, students from our program are well prepared for work in industry or further study in graduate programs.
Computer scientists can choose from various work options as their field overlaps with a range of other subjects, such as mathematics, psychology, engineering, bioinformatics, business administration, etc. Computer scientists are therefore likely to work with specialists from a variety of different fields.
Graduates with a computer science degree are highly sought after professionals. Knowledge and skill in information technology and mathematics is the basis for economic growth and competiveness. The aim of SCS is to offer students a reliable study program in these fields.
Admission requirements
Applicants need to have completed a matriculation examination or a comparable education. In evaluating applications, the factors looked at are: grades on matriculation examination (especially in Icelandic and mathematics), further education, work experience, management experience, and participation in extracurricular activities. Applicants are therefore encouraged to include everything they feel may help their application. In particular, it is important that applicants state the reasons for their interest in the programme and what their future plans are. Official transcripts of upper secondary school diplomas shall accompany applications.
