Department of Computer Science

Computer Science

Computer Science and Information Technology are integral to modern life, influencing education, work, socialization, and various sectors like finance, government, business, healthcare, and more. These fields play a vital role in developing and supporting the technology systems that underpin our daily activities and drive progress in diverse industries.

Why Study Computer Science in NLC

Ideal Starting Point

Equipping students with a broad understanding of computer that could work in a variety of industries and situations or to go on to further studies.

Highly Marketable Skills

Courses focuses on computer literacy, communication, critical thinking and problem solving, logical thinking and deductive reasoning.

Hands on Training

The combination of theoretical studies with practical hands-on training allow the students to apply what they have learned immediately without having working experience.

Programs

Diploma In Computer Science (Dip. CS)

NLC started offering Diploma in Computer Studies May 2004, as a non-academic professional diploma, empowering young adults of our society with skills in the area of computing, giving them an opportunity to get employment with the Government, private sectors, as well empowering them to become entrepreneurs and self-employed. With this remarkable progress the College was faced with a setback where most of our students who graduated were faced with a great challenge in the pursuit of further studies, this was as a result of the programme not been accredited or mentored by any University. On this note, the Institution took it upon itself to formalize the College and the programme Computer Science.
