The Masters Program in Computer Science is designed to provide rigorous training in both theoretical and applied areas of Computer Science. It requires course work in mainstream areas of Computer Science along with a thesis. The thesis is mandatory, which exposes students to both the research and design methodology. The combination of course work and the thesis prepares students to take up positions in the academia as well as industry, while also providing a sufficient base for transition to doctoral studies.

The broad based course work in several mainstream areas of Computer Science provides breadth of the discipline, the MS program caters for depth by offering two options for specialization, namely Software Systems & Engineering and Multimedia & Communications.

• A minimum of 16 years of education leading to BS/M.Sc degree in Computer Science OR BS/BE in Engineering OR M.Sc in Electronics/Physics/ Mathematics or equivalent
• Minimum 1st Division or 2.5 CGPA on the Scale of 4.00
• Admission Test
• Interview

Note: Applicants may be required to take some Undergraduate courses to fulfill pre- requisite deficiencies if determined by the Graduate Admission Committee.

Degree Requirements
MS Computer Science program is offered in two major fields, namely Software System & Engineering and Multimedia & Communication. Each candidate for the MS degree is required to complete successfully the following Graduate courses:

• 24 SCH Course Work + 06 SCH Thesis
• 30 SCH Course Work + 03 SCH Project
• 36 SCH Course Work Only

Duration:

This is normally a two years program comprising of 4 semesters with minimum of 30 semester credit hours (SCH). There will be a Fall and a spring Semester in each year. The maximum duration to complete MS in Computer Science is 4 years.
