BS Computer Science (BS CS)

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CS) is a four-year undergraduate degree program designed to provide students with a solid foundation in computing, programming, algorithms, software engineering, and emerging technologies. The program equips students with the knowledge and practical skills required to design, develop, and manage advanced computer-based systems for solving real-world problems.

This degree follows the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan’s approved curriculum and incorporates the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cloud Computing, and Cybersecurity, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the rapidly changing global technology landscape.

Program Objectives

The BS Computer Science program aims to:

• Develop a strong theoretical and practical understanding of core computer science principles.

• Equip students with problem-solving, analytical, and programming skills to design efficient software and systems.

• Enable graduates to adapt to emerging technologies and trends in the IT industry.

• Foster innovation, research, and entrepreneurship in computing and technology.

• Promote ethical, professional, and socially responsible computing practices.

Program Duration & Structure

• Duration: 4 Years (8 Semesters)

• Credit Hours: 130–136 (as per HEC guidelines)

• Award: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CS)

The program combines core computing courses, mathematical foundations, electives in specialized fields, and a final-year project (FYP), providing a comprehensive balance of theory, practice, and innovation.
