Program Overview
Introduction to MS CS Program:
Master of Science in Computer Science at the University of Chenab is an advanced-level graduate research degree program for technically minded students who aim to conduct research-related activities in computer science fundamentals. Our Master’s degree is a full-time, two years program that provides a comprehensive knowledge of coursework as well as a research component. It aims at strengthening the understanding of students for constructing computer programs including key technologies and skills needed for strong theoretical foundations and the practical ability to develop systems and products. This course is particularly designed to give you an insight into different areas of computer science, which includes computer security, machine learning, internet protocols, networks, artificial intelligence, advanced algorithms, Scientific computing, software technology, data science, theoretical computer science as well as research methodology. While studying with us, you can pursue careers at the frontline of modern software technologies in leading software houses, commercial sectors, or working at advanced technology companies. With specialization, you will also be prepared for a career in research or continued studies towards a doctoral degree. This degree will help you to understand and grasp deep knowledge of user experience and computer interactions, information security management, data mining, cognitive neural networks, object-oriented programming, and web-based information system developments. Our computer science modules are indicative of a wide range of courses with the possibility to specialize in different subjects. The course structure offers a flexible mixture of core/compulsory and optional modules. Though students may get an option to add a year to a research exchange program which enhances their knowledge and help them in future.
