The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was established in the University in 2010. The department offers degree programs at doctoral, masters and bachelor levels. The M.Sc. programs in Computer Science offer advanced curricula that bridges core computing concepts with emerging technologies. Designed for students with a strong foundation in computer science, the program covers key areas such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, cybersecurity, and cloud computing. With a blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on research, students develop critical problem-solving and analytical skills. The program prepares graduates for careers in research, academia, and industry, equipping them to tackle complex computational challenges and contribute to technological advancements. Both of our MSc programs focus on advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in science comprising coursework, and research projects leading to thesis/dissertation.

Specialization Options: Students admitted into any of the Masters programs will be provided the option to follow the general track or to opt to have specialization either in AI & ML or in Advanced Networks & Systems) before the beginning of the first semester
