BS (Hons) Computer Science
The 4-year BS (Hons) degree program at FCCU is duly accredited by NCEAC (National Computing Education Accreditation Council) of HEC and is complemented by the University’s liberal arts education system. The program provides a solid understanding of the theory and techniques of Computer Science so that upon graduation the students can enter various industries or pursue graduate studies. Our courses are a mix from various areas that reflect the excitement and joy of computing, e.g. mathematics, electronics, algorithms, programming, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, application development, software engineering, networks, operating systems, databases, computer vision, human-computer interaction and more.
The mission of BS (Hons.) Computer Science program is to prepare students for gainful employment, higher education, and research in Computer Science by educating them in fundamental concepts, knowledge, and techniques of the discipline and how to implement them in a responsible way.
