Program Overview: This program equipped students with a robust understanding of core computer science concepts, including algorithms, data structures, and software engineering. Graduates are proficient in industry-standard programming languages and committed to ethical computing practices.
Reason for Discontinuation: Replaced by the BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (BSE) to better align with industry demands for practical, “learning-by-doing” technical skills.
Program Overview: An interdisciplinary course of study designed to address specific challenges facing Africa through social inquiry, applied data analysis, and internships.
Reason for Discontinuation: To shift toward a “Missions, Not Majors” model. Instead of a fixed degree title, students now declare a specific mission (e.g., climate change or education) and pursue it through the more flexible BSc (Hons) Entrepreneurial Leadership framework.
Program Overview: Focused on developing business leaders and job creators capable of launching and scaling ventures across the African continent.
Reason for Discontinuation: Integrated into the BSc (Hons) Entrepreneurial Leadership (BEL) degree. This evolution allows for a broader application of entrepreneurial skills across various sectors, public, private, and social rather than limiting the focus strictly to business venture creation.
Program Overview: Provided a foundation in global markets, trade policy, and international management, specifically tailored to the African business landscape.
Reason for Discontinuation: This legacy version of the program was phased out to undergo a comprehensive curriculum overhaul. It has since been succeeded by the relaunched and re-accredited BSc (Hons) International Business and Trade (IBT), featuring revamped courses.
