Bachelors of Science in Computer Science (BSCS)
The BSCS program offers appreciably diverse coverage of all related subjects in the fields of computing and mathematics with an adequate number of general education elective courses. To give breadth and depth in the area of computer science, the courses offer to develop the required skills and prepare the graduates to pursue a career in research, higher education, and the software and IT industry. The curriculum has a well-blended combination of courses with knowledge and hands-on experience through labs component. Additionally, there are courses offered in the program to build the students’ personality to make them not only a technology expert but also a good human being contributing positively towards the society. Apart from coursework, the students are facilitated with ample internship opportunities in relevant commercial and industrial organisations, which in turn equip them with the set of dynamic skills required to enter the professional world. The curriculum of the BSCS program instills abilities in students to keep them up-to-date and motivated to learn. The graduates of the program with these skills are competitive not only in Pakistan but also around the World.
The following are the objectives of the undergraduate program in Computer Science:
