BS Computer Science
The number, size, and application domains of computer programs have grown dramatically; as a result, huge sums are being spent on software development. Most people’s lives and livelihoods depend on this development’s effectiveness. They provide information, make us more effective problem solvers, and provide us with safer, more flexible, and less confining work, entertainment, and recreation environments.
We aim to create computer scientists who can take on the complex technological problems of modern society by building robust software systems, develop efficient computing algorithms, and help machines think and see intelligently, fulfilling the demand for computer science researchers and software developers in Pakistan.
The program offers a wide matrix of interesting courses, to help students attain a broad understanding of the concepts, techniques and theory of Computer Science.
- Aims at developing the student’s critical professional thinking and intuition.
- Focuses on developing critical professional thinking and intuition.
- The curriculum includes a balanced mixture of theory and practical experiences at both foundation and advanced levels.
