To further strengthen the discipline of Computer Science by producing high quality professionals with sound
fundamental knowledge, the Department started in the year 1996 and in 2001 BS (Computer Science) in morning and evening respectively, a four year degree program leading to MS (Computer Science), a two year program
after completing the BS.
The Department of Computer Science offers a wide range of courses at various levels. The purpose of these courses is to provide
opportunities for advanced studies and research in the field of Computer Science and Information Technology, and also to produce highly skilled personnel to cater the need of computer professionals in the country
and abroad. The Department maintains high standard of education through continuous assessment and with periodic tests, quizzes, seminars and field projects. The Department maintains close link with professional
organizations at national and international levels, to enhance professional and academic standard of the faculty and as well as the students.
In the year 2001, five colleges were given affiliation to the Department of Computer Science. These colleges offers BCS, a three
year degree program. There are approximately 300 students in these colleges.
The Department of Computer Science offers the following academic programs:
- Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) [for details...]
(six months diploma for non-CS graduates)
- MCS [for details...]
(2 years
graduation program for non-CS science graduates having B.Sc. degree)
- BS (Computer Science) [for details...]
(four years graduation program for Intermediate students) (four years graduation program for Intermediate students)
- MS (Computer Science) [for details...]
(2 years post-graduate program for CS graduates) (2 years post-graduate program for CS graduates)
- Rules and Categories [for details...]
Morning & Evening Programs
The Department of Computer Science offers programs leading to M.Phil/Ph.D.
degree in Computer Science, Master of Computer Science (MCS), BS (Computer Science), which is a four years degree program leading to MS (Computer Science) and M.Phil/Ph.D. degree in Computer Science. Candidates with
excellent performance in MS or MCS program are encouraged to register for M.Phil/Ph.D. in Computer Science. The admissions in M.Phil/Ph.D. are processed according to the rules of BASR of the University of Karachi.
The Department of Computer Science also offers evening programs leading to MCS of two year duration and Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) of one year duration and short courses. The department also offers BS(CS)
degree in the evening leading to MS.
In the Morning & Evening programs, various courses are offered on broad range of topics, including Algorithms Development and Analysis, Advanced Computer
Architecture, Theory of Formal Languages, Theory of Computation, Design of Automation, Data Communication & Networking, Operating Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Graphics, Database Management Systems,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Simulation & Modeling, Neural Network, Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, Internet Computing, Parallel Computing etc. etc.
Apart from the programs, various
Workshops, Seminars and specialized professional courses are also organized by the Department keeping in view of recent technological developments in hardware and software, and CASE/Rapid Software Development tools.
Short Courses
The Department arranges short courses/ workshops for training in Visual languages, Object Oriented languages,
Informix/Oracle/Sybase 4GL languages, COBOL and topics related with Computerized Management Information Systems, Computer Hardware Simulation and architecture, Software Project Management, Geographic Information
Systems, Satellite Communications & Image Analysis, Computer Aided Designs, AS/400 training programs on RPG and COBOL, Parallel Programming and Knowledge Engineering.
The purpose of such courses is
always to provide opportunities to enhance knowledge in the field of Computer Science/IT to meet future challenges. Highly skilled professional people conduct the program.
