At the University of Chenab, we pioneered an approach to the study of an Undergraduate degree program namely BS Computer Science (BS-CS). This course is exclusively designed to provide stimulating, broad field knowledge of all the emerging computer field technologies to create a balanced mixture of everything from theory to application at the foundation and advanced levels which, in turn, prepare students for higher learning and state-of-the-art training.
Pursuing a full-time, four-year degree in Computer Science holds excellent job prospects across a number of demanding careers for employment as computer scientists, software developers, programmers, system analysts, web developers, and user experience designers in a variety of business, engineering, industrial, governmental, and scientific environments.
The systematic study of computer science aims to develop a practical knowledge of computing skills, an understanding of which will give you the ability in the areas of system programming, artificial intelligence, algorithm analysis, and system design. This course will also enable you to acquire a cutting-edge experience of computer science at the research, development, and planning levels. You will be continually encouraged to practice special communication skills, produce well-organized reports, methods of solution, and results for a complex technological task.
Our Computer Science (CS) degree will nurture generations of new talent with the most advanced technical and scientific developments in computer science fields. You will also learn the mechanization of methodical procedures including acquisition, storage, processing, and access to information systems. As Computer Science is a field teeming with innovation, it aims to build a solid foundation in computational methods and computational problem solving, along with the fundamental principles of system software and the limits of computing.
Our program structure contains a wide range of courses in all areas of computer science, paving a way for sought-after careers to work in software development, research, and project management. The course structure offers a flexible mixture of core/compulsory and optional modules. Through the optional module, you may choose to spend a year in a research exchange program, which will help you throughout your career.

Following CLOs to PLOs mapping is for the course of software engineering. For all other courses CLOs to PLOs mapping exist in detailed curriculum.

Our program structure is divided up into core courses, foundation courses, general courses, and electives to complete the degree of Computer Science. The curriculum offers a flexible mixture of core/compulsory and optional modules. Through the optional module, you may choose to spend a year in a research exchange program, which will help you throughout your career.
There has been a concerted effort to develop skills for data collection, data analysis, data representation, data management, and data retrieval.

Suggested Semester/Study Plan for BS CS

This program has vast canvas of following specialization areas.

• Data Science
• Machine Learning
• Artificial Intelligence
• Cyber Security

In BSCS we use various methods of teachings through classroom activities including a combination of lectures, tutorials, lab sessions, seminars, workshops, online learning, and independent study. In addition to these workshops, online learning and seminars are also considered. Mode of communication is English.
This program structure is comprised of a total number of thirty to thirty-two lectures and about 3 hours per week will be allocated for teaching and sixteen labs. Each lab consists of three hours of lab practice per week. You will be guided al about the studies, mainly about time for preparing classes, completion of research projects, and reading of primary texts. This program is taught in an appropriately positive learning environment for quality composing work to take place.

Our Computer Science (BSCS) degree is undertaken in a better, more open, and more connected environment to keep more students engaged in a classroom.

Mainly evaluation will be concluded by extensive monitoring of written examination and course work completion along with routine quizzes, individual assignments, and group tasks i.e. programming such as writing, research and presentation.

The duration to complete BS degree program is about 4 years. But HEC has allowed a maximum 6 year duration to complete their degrees.

Before applying for a degree, you should first check that we recognize your higher secondary/tertiary education qualification. This can include:
