- Pritisha Dawadee | Computer Science Student

In today’s fast-changing digital world, technology is everywhere. Skilled computer science professionals are needed like never before. When I decided to study BSc (Hons) Computer Science (4 Years) at The Westminster College, I knew I was stepping into a field filled with exciting opportunities from artificial intelligence to mobile apps, cloud computing to data analytics. 

For me, this wasn’t just about choosing a degree; it was about choosing a future. The program, delivered in partnership with the University of Westminster, UK, gives me access to a modern, globally-recognized qualification, without the huge costs of studying abroad. I’m not just learning to code; I’m learning how technology works at its core, how to solve real-world problems, and how to prepare for a career in both local and global IT industries.

Why This Four-Year Degree Works for Me

The structure of this course really makes a difference. It spans four years (480 credits), which allows me to:

• Build a strong foundation in my first year.
• Gradually move from core knowledge to advanced, independent study.
• Work on a final-year capstone project, solving real problems in collaboration with expert tutors.

This approach means I’m not rushing through topics—I have time to truly master them, making me more confident and job-ready.

A Rich Curriculum with Choices

The modules cover a broad range of modern computing topics:

• Software engineering
• Web and mobile app development
• Artificial intelligence
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Data science

By my final year, I can specialize in areas like Mobile & Web Development or Data Science & Analytics, both of which are in high demand globally.

Real Scope in Nepal and Beyond

Nepal’s tech industry is growing fast. With my degree, I’ll be prepared for roles like:

• Software Developer
• Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer
• Cybersecurity Consultant
• Cloud Engineer
• System Analyst

The British-style teaching, problem-based learning, and strong industry links at Westminster make me competitive both here and abroad.

The Value of a UK Degree at Home

I love that I’m studying a UK-affiliated program right here in Nepal. The degree is awarded by the University of Westminster, which is recognized globally. For me, this means:

• Affordable tuition compared to going overseas.
• Staying close to family and my own culture.
• Having the option to transfer to the UK in Year 2 or 3 if I want international exposure.

Hands-On Experience While Studying

Westminster offers internships and placements, both in Nepal and abroad. These opportunities allow me to apply what I’m learning in the classroom to real projects.

I’ve also taken part in:

• Activity Days for extra IT training.
• Problem-based learning using real-world case studies.
• Career support programs to prepare me for interviews and job applications.

Why Four Years Feels Right

Having a full four years to grow means I’m not just learning technical skills—I’m developing as a professional. I’ve gained:

• A deep understanding of computer science fundamentals.
• Strong problem-solving and teamwork abilities.
• The confidence to take on leadership roles in the future.

Choosing BSc (Hons) Computer Science (4 Years) at The Westminster College has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m gaining a globally-respected degree, learning from experienced faculty, and building skills that will open doors anywhere in the world.

For anyone passionate about technology and ready to invest in their future, this course offers the perfect blend of academic excellence, practical experience, and career preparation.
