In today's Information Society, expertise in all forms of information is required for progress in science, business, and education. The main aim of MS programme in Information Science & Technology (IST) is to design and develop information related applications using information technology by understanding relationship between digital information, people and technology. The MS programme intends to bring together Computer Science and collaborative environment of how people and society interact with digital information MS (Information Science & Technology) Part Time (with 6 credit hours per semester) M.Sc.(Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology) or 4 years BS (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology) with experience in digital information management.(More Details)
Data Science has become an important due to the need for analyzing and understanding ever increasing data generated by a multitude of sources. By getting admission in the MS programme applicants will not only improve their qualifications but will also be equipped with the latest knowledge in the field. The students will be exposed to different aspects of data science including programming, data structures, and algorithms for data science, data analysis and visualization, and big data analytics. These aspects will provide the students the opportunities to effectively work in local and international markets as well as to pursue a PhD degree in data science. (More Details)
The BS Computer Science program at QAU provides a well-integrated balance of theoretical and practical knowledge required for developing reliable and usable software tools for different fields. The program enables students to design, implement and manage systems combining scientific, computational, communication and multimedia facilities in different domains. The main objective of the program is to provide students with a balanced breadth and depth of knowledge in Computer Science that enables them to begin their professional career in the software industry or they can continue their education at graduate level. In the final three semesters, students enhance their skills and knowledge in one of the following focus areas:
- Artificial Intelligence
