Firstly
, I'm glad that you're considering studying computer science at The
University
of Jakarta. Trust me!, you'll never regret taking up
this
course the same way I do. It will teach you from A to Z about computer science during the 8-semester duration, both theoretical and practical.
Also
, you'll have an opportunity to attend on-the-job training at major IT companies
such
as Google and Facebook. Best of all, you'll get paid by these firms too. How cool is that?!
