Therefore teaching and learning of Computer Science (CS) should evolve with the rapid developments in information technology and stimulate applied technological studies.

The Department of Computer Science has first-rate teaching facilities with staff chosen for their expertise and diversity of teaching and research interests. We emphasis on teaching quality and all our students spend a substantial part of their time working on individual or group projects which are supervised by a memver of our research teams. New technologies are being rapidly introduced replacing the existing ones. This change brought in by recent revolution in the discipline has led to introduction of new courses, their continuous revision and enhancement of existing courses in Computer Sciences curriculum.

The new curriculum aims to deliver concepts, techniques and methods required for practical work in the modern environment of software development. In addition to the teaching of the fundamental concepts, techniques and methods, the emphasis is also on learning how to analyze, design and build the software. A set of elective courses is also offered to provide students with in depth knowledge of cutting edge tools and technologies. A part of curriculum is also devoted to lab exercises. Students are exposed to real life problems and are encouraged to collaborate with the faculty for exploration of the latest tools and technologies. This enables students to get hands on experience and prepare themselves for forthcoming challenges in their professional career.

Degrees Offered
The Department of Computer Sciences currently offers the following degrees:

a) Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS)
b) Master of Science in Computer Scinece (MSCS)

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science has been developed with the aim to introduce, prepare and develop understanding of computing. Our students are professionally guided through the different modules of computing, enabling them to apply and logically evaluate problems in the real world.

Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS)

The basic objective of the MSCS programme is to impart an advanced level of training in the field of computer science. Such training will enable the graduates to move to positions with a high degree of responsibility in research, academic and industry. Thus, the MS (CS) degree provides both the motivation for the academic excellence as well as a standard for reward by the employer.

Eligibility Criteria
•BS (CS) 4 years degree programme (120 credit hours)
•MCS or MSc(CS) 2 years degree conversion programme completed after graduation
•BCS 3 years degree. Students will be required to complete deficiency of difference of total earned credit hours and 120 credit hours
•16 years science and engineering graduates are eligible but they have to cover deficiency.
