BS Computer Science

In this modern era of information age, the field of computing is advancing at an ultra-high speed. With the recent advancements in different areas of computing e.g. Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, although there has been a growing demand to excel in these particular areas, however, the importance of having a strong foundation of the core principles of computing has also got more attention. The need to build the core competency in the area of a foundation of the computing, the underlying hardware and software platforms, programming interfaces, complex algorithms, trends in user interface designs, the emergence of new businesses, has increased. This program of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS-CS) is aimed to fulfill this need of the new era. The BS-CS program will try to produce the high-quality computer scientists who will have the necessary theoretical background to understand the computing problems, will be equipped with the necessary tools and techniques to design, develop and deliver the solutions for these problems and will have the necessary ethical values to apply this skill set in the appropriately right way.

The candidates for BS Computer Science with at least 50% or above marks in Intermediate with Pre- Medical background (without Mathematics) will be required to pass deficiency courses of Mathematics of 6 credit hours within one year of their regular studies.”

You need to complete 130 credit hours to successfully obtain this degree. Please check detail of study units at https://www.riphah.edu.pk/bs-computer-science/
