The MS (Computer Science) comprises of both course work as well as research component. There are four ‘core courses’ aimed at strengthening the understanding and competence of students in computer science fundamentals. The University expects its MS graduates to pursue careers either as ‘Computer Science Faculty Members’ or as ‘Software Development Managers’ in the industry.

Over the course of their studies, they will develop a broad base of knowledge with the opportunity to specialize in an area of particular interest. The learning will be reinforced with practical, hands-on team projects, where you’ll apply your skills to real world problems.

• The possibilities for a computer scientist today are virtually limitless. As the demand for new and improved technology grows, so does the demand for computer science grads. Launch a career in cyber ops, software development or information research – or innovate a whole new field.

  The need for computer science experts is thriving in every job space and is not limited to technology. Since this is a highly in-demand career choice with high paying salaries, an advanced education coupled with excellent skills is mandatory. Following are some of the popular computer science career tracks that can be pursued by graduates:

  • Startup founder
  • Data Architect
  • Applications Architect
  • Network Architect
  • Software developer
  • Data Scientist
  • Academia
  • Researcher

  Computer science with its applications in almost every field, CS gives you the maximum options to land a job in any industry. Our MS program primarily focuses on three different streams i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Software engineering and computer Networks.

   

  Artificial Intelligence

  The need for skilled AI professionals spans nearly every industry, including: Financial services, Healthcare, Technology, Media, Marketing, Government and military, National security, IoT-enabled systems, Agriculture, Gaming and Retail. Following are some of the popular AI career tracks that can be pursued by graduates:
