Hear from our students
Due to my internships, I was able to hit the ground running when I joined my current company, since I had the problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills that are needed in the fast-paced field of software development.
Mya Ubalde
I chose to study a double degree because you can graduate in five years with two degrees that would take seven years if studied separately. I chose computer science with electrical engineering, as that combination would be valuable for my career.
