The BSc (Hons) Computer Science at ING College of Innovation and Leadership is a three-year undergraduate degree offered in Kathmandu, Nepal, under affiliation with Bangor University, UK. The programme carries 360 credits across Levels 4, 5, and 6, with 120 credits completed at each level.
The curriculum begins with programming, mathematics, databases, computer architecture, operating systems, and web technologies. It then moves into data structures, networks, user experience, industrial projects, software engineering, research methods, and an individual project. The course also includes subjects such as AI and Game Design, Computer Vision, Principles of Machine Learning, and Internet of Things.

The programme builds its computing curriculum progressively across three academic levels.
Level 4 establishes the main technical base through programming, mathematics, databases, computer architecture, operating systems, and web technologies. Students encounter both imperative and object-oriented programming during this stage.
Level 5 adds subjects involving data structures, computing networks, user experience, business-related programming, and project work. Industrial Projects is included at this level, placing practical project activity within the credited curriculum rather than limiting it to the final year.
Level 6 combines specialist computing subjects with research and independent project work. Research Methods and the 30-credit Individual Project form part of the final level alongside Software Engineering and other advanced computing modules.
Level 4 carries 120 credits and introduces the core areas needed for later computing study.
The first level gives students study across programming approaches, database systems, computing mathematics, web technology, and the relationship between computer hardware and operating systems.
Programming appears in more than one module, allowing students to encounter imperative and object-oriented approaches during the opening stage of the degree.
Level 5 also carries 120 credits.
At this stage, the programme moves beyond the introductory technical subjects of Level 4.
Data Structures and Algorithms adds algorithm and data-organisation study, while Computer Systems and Networks develops the systems side of the degree. Human-Computer Interaction for User Experience introduces the relationship between computing systems and the people who use them.
Industrial Projects brings project work directly into the academic structure. Business and Enterprise Programming also connects programming study with enterprise-related applications.
The final level carries another 120 credits.
Level 6 places greater weight on research, independent work, and specialist computing study.
The Individual Project carries 30 credits, making it the largest single credited module shown in the final-year structure. Research Methods carries 10 credits and provides a formal research-related element alongside the project.
Software Engineering adds a broader software-development component, while the remaining modules extend study into selected areas of computing.
Credits in the published curriculum are inclusive of optional modules.
Project work appears at more than one point in the BSc (Hons) Computer Science.
Industrial Projects is included at Level 5. This introduces a formal project component before students reach the final academic level.
At Level 6, the Individual Project carries 30 credits. It sits alongside Research Methods, creating a direct connection between research-related study and independent project work within the final stage of the programme.
The course structure therefore includes:
These modules make project and research-related activity identifiable parts of the credited degree.
The degree also includes an additional non-graded component associated with the ING Innovation Hub.
This component sits outside the formal 360-credit curriculum and is connected with research-and-development activity, mentorship, technology use, collaborative development, application building, prototype development, and testing technical ideas.
Students can use this part of the programme for activities connected with building applications, developing prototypes, working collaboratively, and developing technical projects.
The distinction between the two parts is clear: academic credits are earned through the formal Bangor University degree curriculum, while the ING Innovation Hub component provides additional computing-related activity alongside those modules.
The progression of the programme can be understood through three broad stages.
| Level | Main areas of study | Project or research element |
|---|---|---|
| Level 4 | Programming, mathematics, databases, systems, web technologies | Professional and technical foundations |
| Level 5 | Algorithms, networks, user experience, enterprise programming, AI and game design | Industrial Projects |
| Level 6 | Software engineering, machine learning, specialist computing subjects | Research Methods and Individual Project |
Level 4 establishes the technical base. Level 5 expands the curriculum into algorithms, networking, user-focused computing, enterprise programming, and projects. Level 6 adds research and independent work alongside specialist modules.
This progression allows students to encounter programming and computing systems early in the degree before moving into larger projects and more specialised subjects.
ING College of Innovation and Leadership delivers the programme in Kathmandu as part of its focused undergraduate academic offering.
The college concentrates on two bachelor’s programmes, with Computer Science representing its main computing degree. Within the campus, computing study is connected with the formal Bangor University curriculum as well as the additional activity associated with the ING Innovation Hub.
For Computer Science students, this means the academic experience includes credited modules, industrial project work, research study, an individual final-level project, and additional development activity linked with the subject.
The BSc (Hons) Computer Science at ING College is affiliated with Bangor University, UK.
Bangor University is the foreign university associated with the programme, while ING College provides local programme delivery in Kathmandu. The degree information identifies Bangor University as the university for the qualification.
The programme consists of 360 credits completed across three academic levels over three years.
The curriculum is particularly aligned with students interested in studying programming, software, databases, computer systems, networking, algorithms, user experience, and computing projects within one undergraduate degree.
It also includes research and independent project work in the final level, making it relevant for students who want a course where project-based computing is part of the formal academic structure.
The programme does not concentrate on a single computing subject from the beginning. Its curriculum covers several areas of computer science before moving into more specialised final-level modules.
Duration: The programme is three years full-time.
Total Credits: The BSc (Hons) Computer Science carries 360 credits. Students complete 120 credits at each of Levels 4, 5, and 6.
Affiliation: The programme is affiliated with Bangor University, UK, and is delivered through ING College of Innovation and Leadership in Kathmandu.
Yes. Industrial Projects appears at Level 5. Level 6 includes Research Methods and a 30-credit Individual Project.
Level 4 includes Professional Perspectives, Mathematics for Computing, Database Systems, Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, Imperative Programming Foundations, Web Technologies, and Object Oriented Programming.
The ING Innovation Hub is associated with an additional non-graded computing component. Activities include development work, prototypes, technical projects, mentorship, and collaborative work alongside the formal degree curriculum.
