The course's overarching goal is to give students a solid foundation in computing systems so they can apply best practises in software engineering to the creation of a variety of information systems in organisations. As a result, graduates will be able to start a professional career in computers with specialised skills that are pertinent to the demands of the regional sector. Also, the course will aid in addressing the present lack of highly qualified computer science graduates, particularly those with expertise in software development.

The BSc Hons in Computer Systems degree acknowledges the need for people and process-related skills to supplement software development skills. In order to create a comprehensive base of abilities suitable for a software engineer, people, process, and professional practise are significant themes within course modules.

Security and the place of artificial intelligence in society have been hot subjects in recent years' computing research, and both of these topics are addressed in the curriculum.
