BS-Computer Science

COURSE OVERVIEW

Computer Science is the study of the theoretical and practical aspects of computer technology and computer usage. The main purpose of INU BS computer science is to provide students with a durable foundation, with a comprehensive set of electives so that computer scientists can be produced. Computer science major attracts students who are interested in both the mathematical theory and technical applications of computer science.

Most employers look for students who are good computer scientists but also understand the tools and techniques of mathematics, science and industry and are able to communicate effectively. The INU BS computer science program is also for the mathematically adept student who wishes to become a computing professional with knowledge of relevant applications areas. The degree path emphasizes problem solving using computer program design, analysis and implementation, and includes a theoretical foundation as well as “hand-on” experience

Program Objectives (POs)

  1. Fundamental Computing Knowledge is a graduate performing his/her professional roles with an understanding of fundamental computing knowledge acquired during studies.
  2. Ethical and Societal Responsibilities A graduate who is fulfilling his/her professional responsibilities taking into account ethical and societal concerns.
  3. Communication Skills A graduate who is effective in oral and written communication of technical and managerial information.
  4. Leadership A graduate who is effective in a leadership role of a group/team assigned to him/her or in an entrepreneurial environment.
  5. Continuous Improvement A graduate who keeps exploring new fields and areas in computing for his/her organization or conducts research for academic pursuits.

Graduate Attributes (GAs)

The Department of Computer Science at Iqra National University Peshawar (INU) emphasizes key graduate attributes, such as Knowledge, Problem Solving, Creativity, Communication, Teamwork, and Lifelong Learning, to enhance employability. These attributes are integrated into the curriculum and aligned with national and international accreditation standards, including those of the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC). INU adopts NCEAC’s Graduate Attributes without modifications, ensuring graduates possess the skills required to meet industry demands and succeed in their careers.
