"What I’ve come to appreciate most about TMU’s Computer Science program is its emphasis on practical learning. It’s not just about theory, you’re expected to apply what you learn. This is essential, because without practice you can easily start to forget what you’re learning in class.”
- Osanyem, Computer Science, Student
