Bachelor of Computing (B.Comp.) is a bachelor's degree in Computing. This degree is offered only in some universities, and is slightly, but significantly, different from a B.Sc. in Computer Science or a B.CS..
The following definition of Computing is given in the ACM report Computing As a Discipline:
The discipline of computing is the systematic study of algorithmic processes that describe and transform information: their theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation, and application. The fundamental question underlying all the computing is 'What can be (efficiently) automated?'
In most universities, a Bachelor of Computing degree is conferred upon a student after four years of full-time study (generally 120 credit hours) which include computing studies, although generally a large focus is put on the integration of computing with one of science, liberal arts, or business.
Specializations of B.Comp may vary greatly, however they may include:
* Bioinformatics
* Biomedical Computing
* Cognitive Science
* Computer Science
* Information Technology
* Management Information Systems
* Medical Informatics
* Medical Imaging
* Multimedia
* Software Engineering
