ICT is the course to go for. You cant even compare the two, if u can secure admission 2 study ICT, grab it wit both hands. Am a graduate of ICT. Gudluck |

bibiji: ICT is the course to go for. You cant even compare the two, if u can secure admission 2 study ICT, grab it wit both hands. Am a graduate of ICT. Gudluck Not really. Today, Computer Science is seen as the umbrella body of both ICT and non ICT related programmes. @Op If you choose computer science, then you will get an all rounder knowledge about the science. But if you choose ICT only, then you'd be restricted to that field. Most importantly, do not study what someone ask you. Study it because you want to. |

Personally, I'd say you compare the syllabi - a lot of our schools (both federal and state) offer outdated courses in CSC/ICT. I even get 'angered' when I have to teach a CSC some troubleshooting on PCs for example. Those who work as apprentices etc get a better on-the-job experience than a CSC undergraduate that hardly uses a system in the laboratory. If you choose to do it anyway, endeavor not to 'dull yourself' - develop yourself outside the school curricula so that you just don't end up having the degree for the sake. |

I might be wrong but here is what i know about the three Computer science Its more of computer programming Information Technology Its more of Everything computer hardware, Networking,little bit of programming,latest trends in computing Communications technology. This has to do with Telecommunications. Radio waves and stuff like that. A colleague of mine did this at masters level |

Sky-walker: Computer Science is like a supper set. Programming is not a field per say but a tool which is applied in every field, including Information Communications Technology. Even the subjects of what is considered Communications Technology has its roots in Physics and Mathematics. In Computer Science, you have Hardware, Networking, Database Administration and Programming, which are all inter-related. For example, in Networking, programs are written to transport data from a node to another and the act of writing a program is Programming. In Database Administration, you actually write programs to create and maintain a database structure. Computer Science can also be seen as an applied science. There's this misconception about Computer Science being all about Programming especially in this part of the world. But there's more to it. There's Software/Application Development which some schools teach as Software Engineering which still is a field under Computer Science. Going further, there's Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Expert Systems, Operations Research, Compiler and Operating Systems Design and Construction, Virtual Reality, Microprocessors, Networking, etc. Even within these fields, there are sub-fields. So Computer Science is a vast and dynamic discipline. Programming is like outlaying a series of steps so as to solve a particular problem within a time frame or better still in finite time. Hope you can understand. |

kaboninc: Dont know where you got your information from but for UK university, computer science is not as broad as you have written. |
Re: Computer Science Vs Information And Communicatiom Technology. by kaboninc(m): 10:35pm On Dec 31, 2012 |
Sky-walker: Am a graduate. So I know what am saying. Take a good look at our syllables, I mean the NUC course outline and compare even with the best schools in the world. You'll find out that there's no much difference except in teaching style. Browse the internet. Visit wikipedia. Go to Google and make your research |

kaboninc: oh i forgot, i am not a graduate |
Re: Computer Science Vs Information And Communicatiom Technology. by kaboninc(m): 11:27pm On Dec 31, 2012 |
Sky-walker: Oh sorry about that. What I meant was that I passed through the course and had a taste of it. So I speak from what I've learnt and know. |
Re: Computer Science Vs Information And Communicatiom Technology. by Skywalker5(m): 11:38pm On Dec 31, 2012 |
kaboninc: lol. so you passed through the three courses right or because i said i am not a graduate? i am not gonna argue with you but all what you wrote for computer science is too broad for computer science. Well its not in Nigeria university but sit down and read all the topics you just wrote about computer science. what with the sorry about that? because i said i am not a graduate? lol. so you feel achieved because i said i am not a graduate and you are on nairaland? I was just being sarcastic Mr Graduate |

Sky-walker: Lollll. I said 'sorry' because people do read different meanings to ones intention. Anyway, I had 'stint' of these courses. Yes in Nigeria you have these courses but the problem is the teaching style and facilities. There's no need arguing about this. If you doubt what I've just said, Google it. Make your research. And em.....happy new year 2 Likes |

kaboninc: Now i see why you kept saying i should goggle computer science. Wiki was your source not from experience. Happy new year to you too |
Re: Computer Science Vs Information And Communicatiom Technology. by kaboninc(m): 1:30pm On Jan 01, 2013 |
Sky-walker: Of all I said, its only 'Wiki' and 'Google' you picked? |
Re: Computer Science Vs Information And Communicatiom Technology. by Skywalker5(m): 2:14pm On Jan 01, 2013 |
kaboninc: lol Google pointed me to wiki after copying and pasting your words. |
