This millennium is an era of innovation and change, and this change is not limited to any specific industry rather it is wrapping around every walk of life. Education is no different. Traditional boundaries between different educational specializations are fading away. This disruptive trend has given birth to many professions which were never thought of before, for example medical physicists, computational biologists, computational historians etc. One common aspect in all of these different interdisciplinary educational specializations is that technology, specifically computational technology is taking center stage. This is now no surprise that the future will be shaped by the people who will have the capability of working with these computational machines, also known as Computers. As a learning facilitator, I encourage our youth to embark on the journey of thinking and to build an ability to question what are the limits of current technology and how to make a dent in those limits.

At the Salim Habib University (SHU), we offer BS program in computer science that is pursuant to the latest technological trends. Consistent with our vision to be a leader in innovation, research, and dissemination of knowledge we aspire to impart education in an effective and contemporary manner so that our students can cope up with the rapid changes in the market needs. The curriculum of offered program involves the study of data and data structures and the algorithms to process these structures; of principles of computer architecture-both hardware and software; of addressing particular challenges in areas such as robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence or digital forensics; and of language design, structure, and translation technique. Our faculty consists of members with local and international research and industry experience. The Computer Science department at SHU offers a flexible study environment where students are empowered to focus on inter-disciplinary / specialized areas as per their motivation.
The Department of Computer Science offers an exceptional blend of theoretical research and extensive practical training. It transforms students into skillful professionals ready to take up real-world challenges in the industry.
Our mission is to produce graduates who are capable of taking a lead in creating a knowledge-based economy by solving real-life problems. Our graduates:
We also aim to create an environment that is conducive to professional growth through carrying out research projects and undergoing training.
The program’s vision is to produce globally competitive computer science graduates with innovative leadership capabilities. Program will inculcate critical and professional thinking through engagement in cutting edge innovation and research activities.
The program’s mission is to provide quality education to our graduates with well-balanced emphasis on conceptual knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience to enable them practice their profession with integrity and to better serve society.
