MSc in Computer Science
Overview
Computer Science is the foundation of computing. It is a discipline that focuses on problem-solving and the essential theories to computation. It is considered the backbone of all other sectors of computing such as computer engineering, software engineering, information systems, and information technology. The Master program in Computer Science aims to combine a family of computing skills including computer based problem-solving techniques, algorithm analysis and design, programming, operating systems, and soft computing. The gained knowledge will equip the graduates with unique competences in this field.
This program is designed to open the door for students from computing-related fields to build on their undergraduate analytical abilities. This in turn helps the region to develop a cadre of computer professionals who are able to reach out in a multi-disciplinary environment and instantly connect with challenging clusters of computing medium and information communication technology with a realistic plan for promoting computing in education and applying, core research in this sectors.
