MS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Introduction

Master of Science in Computer Science is being offered by the Department of Computer Science. The program is designed to produce academicians and professionals of high quality. The designed course work provides depth and breath-based knowledge of core computer science areas (as identified by the HEC), moreover specialization courses enable students to develop advanced expertise in their chosen area of specialization. Currently, following specializations are being offered:

  • Software Engineering
  • Computer Networks
  • Databases

Note:

  • The admission in MSCS program is offered only once a year in the Fall semester.
  • The MSCS Program is available for applicants residing within Pakistan only and is not available for overseas students (w.e.f. Fall 2018). If any student wishes to move overseas after gaining admission, he/she will be required to withdraw from the program.

Program Mission

The program is designed to meet the growing need for IT experts in the rapidly evolving 21st century economy. The mission is to provide post-graduates with a strong software engineering, computer networks and databases expertise. The study program enables students to capitalize on the increasing career opportunities in the information technology sector, to expand the limits of their knowledge, and to pursue further doctoral studies.
