Every industry uses computers, so naturally computer scientists can work in any discipline. Problems in science, engineering, health care, and so many other areas can be solved by computers. It's up to the computer scientist to figure out how, and design the software to apply the solution. Graduates of such programmes will be able to function as proficient software developers and effective team members. FUSST graduates have a strong foundation in communication, mathematics and science, with understanding of issues related to the development of high quality software systems.
