Overview

Furthermore, the Computer Science program of the National University of Sciences and Technology tends to target system-level approach for the design of computing applications, so only highly-specialized, theoretically-sound, and practically-important courses will be offered.

The main objective of the MSCS degree program is to give its students a strong background in advanced topics of computer science which will then be complemented with specialized postgraduate courses in areas of immense research and commercial potential. This program has been designed to produce highly-skilled professionals who would be trained computer science areas, namely Algorithms and Complexity, Architecture and Organization, Operating Systems, Intelligent Information Management, Graphics and Visual Computing, Human-Computer Interaction, Web Technologies, and Software Engineering.

Why join this program

The Masters of Computer Science program will provide a theoretical and in-depth perspective of the principles and practice of emerging and classical software systems with an emphasis on hard core computer science aspects of these systems. The coursework is structured in a way that will ensure that the students are equally capable of applying their knowledge and skills to particular specialization areas such as High Performance Computing, Data Management and Intelligent Software Systems. Based on their learning and research interactions, MSCS students at Department of Computing get a unique exposure by visiting world-class research labs, both for short and long-term projects.

Associated Careers
