This differs from university to university. At my university, the department I
was in, known as computer science ('datalogi' in Swedish) dealt with
theoretical stuff, understanding algorithmic theory, analysing and proving
stuff
There were other departments, one I remember was called Informatics, which
were more into the practical results and took shortcuts across the more
theoretical aspects
But I know other places around there which packed everything into the Comp.
Sci. department, both the theoretical and the "instant business programmer"
type courses
