MS Computer Science Programme  
 
   
Programme Objectives
 
   

The MS-CS programme is designed in such a way that it is a second degree in the field of Computer Science. The MS Computer Science programme gives students the opportunity to further their knowledge in foundational and applied topics, preparing them for advanced industrial or research positions. The courses not only prepare the students for the industry but also would prepare those interested in pursuing their doctoral level degrees. The MS computer Science programme will enable the students to:


1. have a solid understanding of computational theory and foundational mathematics
2. have substantial exposure to advanced topics in software and computing systems, operating      systems and advanced architecture.
3. prepare students to conduct research in computer science with advanced training in selected areas
4. increase the opportunities for advanced positions in the computing profession.

  
   
 
Degree Requirements
 
     
 
The MS Computer Science programme spans over two years with a total of 4 semesters. The minimum credit hours shall be 30 with a minimum of 12 credit hours for the core courses and 6 credit hours for the thesis.
  
     
 

Eligibility criteria
 
     
 

Students with BCS/MSc Computer Science or BSc/BE (Electrical, Telecomm, Electronics) degree from an HEC recognized university with minimum 2.5 CGPA/60% aggregate marks are eligible to apply for this programme.
