      COMPUTER SCIENCE & IT QUESTIONS

      Common questions, answered directly.

      What students commonly ask us about studying Computer Science and IT abroad.

      Ask a counsellor →
      Do I need mathematics to study Computer Science?

      Requirements vary by university and course. Many undergraduate Computer Science programmes include mathematics prerequisites, while some IT and selected postgraduate programmes may have different requirements. Always check the exact course page before applying.

      Can I study Computer Science abroad after 12th?

      Yes. Students can apply for undergraduate degrees such as Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and related subjects, subject to the university's academic and English-language requirements.

      Can I study a Master's in Computer Science without a Computer Science degree?

      It depends on the university and programme. Some Master's courses require a closely related computing background, while others accept applicants from different disciplines if they meet prerequisite or quantitative requirements.

      Which is better: Computer Science or Information Technology?

      They have overlapping areas but can emphasise different subjects. Computer Science often places greater emphasis on computing theory, algorithms and programming, while IT may focus more on applying technology to systems, infrastructure and organisations. Compare the actual modules rather than relying only on the course title.

      Is IELTS required for Computer Science courses abroad?

      International students may need to demonstrate English proficiency through IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or another accepted test. The required test and score depend on the university, programme and applicant's circumstances.

      Which Computer Science specialisation should I choose?

      Start with your interests and career direction. AI, data science, cybersecurity, software engineering and cloud computing have different technical focuses. Reviewing modules, projects, entry requirements and future career pathways can help you narrow down suitable programmes.

      How long does a Computer Science degree take abroad?

      Duration depends on the country, level and programme. Bachelor's degrees commonly take around three to four years, while Master's programmes are often around one to two years. Some programmes include placements, internships or integrated study periods that can change the overall duration.
