The programme develops computing knowledge across programming, software systems, databases, mathematics, software development, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data-related study.
The first year establishes the academic and technical base. Students study introductory programming, computing fundamentals, databases, object-oriented programming and computational mathematics. The programme also includes Interactive 3D Applications and Academic Skills at this stage.
In the second year, students move into object-oriented design, full-stack development, artificial intelligence concepts, cloud systems, collaborative development and algorithms. These modules extend the programming foundation while introducing larger software systems and team-based technical work.
The final year concentrates on advanced full-stack development, intelligent systems, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning, together with Project and Professionalism. This stage allows students to connect knowledge from earlier modules with advanced computing topics and project work.
Year 1 develops the foundation required for later computer science study.
Students study:
4CS001: Introductory Programming and Problem Solving
4CS015: Fundamentals of Computing
4CS017: Internet Software Architecture and Databases
4CS021: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming
4MM013: Computational Mathematics
4CS020: Interactive 3D Applications and Academic Skills
Introductory Programming and Problem Solving introduces programming logic and the process of solving computing problems through code.
Fundamentals of Computing provides a wider base in computing concepts. Internet Software Architecture and Databases introduces web-related software structures and data organisation, while Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming develops a programming approach used widely in software development.
Computational Mathematics adds the mathematical component required for computing study. Interactive 3D Applications and Academic Skills combines technical learning with academic development.
Year 2 moves into software design, full-stack development, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and algorithms.
Students study:
5CS019: Object-Oriented Design and Programming
5CS045: Full Stack Development
5CS037: Concepts and Technologies of AI
5CS048: Cloud Systems
5CS024: Collaborative Development
5CS046: Algorithms and Concurrency
Object-Oriented Design and Programming builds on the first-year programming foundation. Full Stack Development introduces work across different parts of application development.
Concepts and Technologies of AI introduces artificial intelligence as a dedicated area of study, while Cloud Systems covers computing through cloud-based systems.
Collaborative Development adds team-based technical work. Algorithms and Concurrency develops understanding of computational procedures and the handling of processes that may operate concurrently.
The final year brings together advanced software development, intelligent computing, data and project work.
Students study:
6CS056: Advanced Full Stack Development
6CS059: Intelligent Systems
6CS030: Big Data
6CS012: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
6CS007: Project and Professionalism
Advanced Full Stack Development continues the application-development strand from Level 5. Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning extend the AI component of the programme.
Big Data introduces study related to large-scale data, while Project and Professionalism provides the final project and professional component of the degree.

The programme covers several connected areas of computer science:
programming and problem solving;
computing fundamentals;
internet software architecture;
databases;
object-oriented programming and design;
computational mathematics;
full-stack development;
artificial intelligence;
cloud systems;
collaborative development;
algorithms and concurrency;
intelligent systems;
big data;
machine learning;
project work and professionalism.
The course therefore combines software development with computing theory, data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence rather than concentrating on a single technical field.
Programming appears throughout the programme.
Students begin with introductory programming and object-oriented programming at Level 4. Level 5 develops this further through Object-Oriented Design and Programming and Full Stack Development.
At Level 6, Advanced Full Stack Development continues the software-development strand. This progression allows students to move from programming fundamentals into the design and development of more complex applications.
Collaborative Development also introduces the team-based side of technical work, where students work with development tasks in a shared academic setting.
Artificial intelligence is introduced at Level 5 through Concepts and Technologies of AI. At Level 6, students move into Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Big Data is also included in the final year, adding a data-focused area to the programme.
Cloud Systems at Level 5 introduces cloud computing as another part of the curriculum. Together, these subjects broaden the course beyond traditional programming and software development.
Projects and practical academic work form part of the computing studies at Fishtail Mountain College.
Programming assignments, software-development tasks, collaborative work and technical modules require students to apply concepts through practical academic activities.
Project and Professionalism at Level 6 provides a final-stage project component. It allows students to bring together knowledge developed during the programme while also addressing professional aspects of computing work.
The wider college setting also includes project and internship opportunities connected with its technology and education network.
Students undertake the programme at Fishtail Mountain College in Mustang Chowk, Pokhara. The college works with the University of Wolverhampton, UK, as its foreign university partner.
The BSc (Hons) Computer Science is supported across the institutional records used for the college profile, including the Nepal Ministry listing, the University of Wolverhampton partner information and Fishtail Mountain College programme information.
Under the University of Wolverhampton's transnational education arrangements, the final qualification is awarded by the university while study takes place through the local partner institution.
University-linked academic resources associated with the partnership include online library access, virtual learning resources, digital study materials and academic support tools.
The academic subjects covered by the programme relate to several computing career areas. Career examples connected with the course include:
AI Engineer
Machine Learning Expert
Embedded Systems Developer
Software Engineer
Mobile App/Web Developer
Complex Systems Engineer
Systems Analyst
Software Architect
These titles represent possible career directions rather than guaranteed employment outcomes. Individual roles may require specific technical skills, experience or additional professional development depending on the employer and position.
