MS Computer Science
In the last three decades, computers have entered all spheres of our lives from business applications, office automation, science and engineering, expert systems, information and data processing, to shopping in grocery stores. Given the unprecedented pace at which developments are taking place there is a demand today for advanced training and education in Computer Science.
The two-year MS Computer Science program prepares students to understand the diverse and ever-evolving field of Computer Science. It enables students to conduct research, to develop their capacity for inquiry, abstract and logical thinking, and critical analysis. Students are exposed to quality work being done in areas including Machine Learning, Networks Information Security, Software Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, Human Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence.
Our vision is 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.
We aim to provide a conducive learning environment to
- Impart students with the knowledge and skills in both theoretical and applied foundations of computer science
- Rigorously train students in understanding software systems, processes and state-of-the-art technologies.
- Develop critical-thinkers and effective problem-solvers possessing the ability to program intelligent software using modern computing technologies.
- Advance research by promoting innovative ideas in core computer science and multidisciplinary application areas.
- Develop students’ interpersonal and team-work skills for continuing professional growth and instill a desire to pursue life-long learning.
- Prepare students for productive careers in industry and academia to address a wide range of complex scientific, technological, and social problems through computing.
