Bachelor of Computer Science - 132 CRs

Program Description

Due the evolution in the field of Computing and Information Technology and the increasing reliance on it by individuals, organizations, and businesses, this modern science has become crucial and a cornerstone in all modern life aspects. Therefore, AASTMT has established the College of Computing and Information Technology (CCIT) in 2003, which specializes in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Multimedia and Computer Graphics ،and Cybersecurity. However, the roots of the college extend back to 2001, when the Computer Science Department started to offer its program through the Computer Engineering Department as part of the College of Engineering and Technology, AASTMT. The CCIT aims to develop a generation of computing professionals that could harness innovation with creativity through state-of-the-art facilities, top notch faculty, internationally accredited educational programs, training opportunities and capacity building programs. Our students are inspired to formulate innovative diverse computing solutions for real-world problems to become the next generation of entrepreneurs or be well qualified to secure competitive local, regional, and global computing career opportunities. Since its establishment, the CCIT maintains sound relationships with a number of universities inside and outside Egypt for cooperation in both undergraduate studies and supervision of postgraduate studies and research work. Moreover, CCIT has built a number of beneficial relationships with several specialized governmental and private companies in the Egyptian market, to tackle the emerging trends in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry. CCIT offers opportunities for further career development through a diverse range of postgraduate studies including diploma, Master of Computing, Master of Science, and Ph.D. programs. The CCIT is located in Abu Qir campus, AASTMT’s main campus in Alexandria, Heliopolis campus in Cairo, Smart Village campus, and South Valley campus. Computer science is one of the programs offered by CCIT. Program aims to develop a generation that could harness innovation with creativity through hands on the most recent programming design methodologies and facilities our students are inspired to discover innovative solutions for any real problem. The program graduates are capable of acquiring numerous career opportunities and competing in several international competitions to become the next generation of entrepreneurs.
