The study focus of Computer Science is the storage, processing, conversion of electronic information and data in computers, the display and transmission in different electronic media, and the computational processes that provide access to all this data. Computer Science is the discipline that studies the efficient applicability of algorithms and solution methods developed for these calculations through software expressions and structures, their automation, and the computational limits of computers, and deals with all these with theoretical (theoretical) and practical approaches.

While the theoretical part of science consists of fields of study such as Computational Theory, Algorithms and Data Structures, Informatics and Coding Theory, Programming Languages, on the applied side Artificial Intelligence, Computer Architecture and Engineering, Computer Graphics, Scientific Computing, Computer Networks, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Computer Security and There are fields such as Cryptography and Software Engineering.

Natural language processing, data mining, optimization, modeling and simulation, big data analysis, intelligent decision support systems and bioinformatics, which are handled more widely due to new technological developments, are other important study subjects of Computer Science.

Since our department was founded with the aim of providing training for both theoretical and practical specific study areas of computer science, it started out with the name of Computer Science. The first Computer Science Department established under the Faculty of Science in universities in Turkey is located at Dokuz Eylül University.
