Master in Computer Science

Program Description

Master of Science in Computer Science (CS) is generally Academic degrees offered as Research-Based Master of Science degrees. These Master degrees are offered at many leading universities around the world and is considered a prerequisite degree for those who need to apply for a Ph.D. degree in CS field. Program Objectives The Master of Science (M.Sc) in Computer Science is a research-oriented degree that can be counted toward the Computer Science PhD. itis a program providing emphasis on computer software development and theoretical foundations of computer science. It is designed to prepare students for professional positions in industrial corporations, government service or computer service companies, and provide preparation for additional graduate work at the Ph.D. level. Graduates of this program, in addition to receiving a strong theoretical background, should also become competent programmers and system designers.
