Message from the Dean
Welcome to the School of Systems and Technology (SST) at University of Management and Technology (UMT). SST is the largest school of UMT that celebrates decades of sustained growth and we are eager for the same level of achievement for the coming years. The key to success of SST lies in the aspirations of our students, the hard work of our outstanding faculty members and the unwavering support of UMT leadership. These factors render us assertive and self-reliant as we aim at achieving the next level of excellence.
The fields of computing and information technology are growing at an exponential rate and have greatly influenced our lives. Our unique, highly interdisciplinary school is mirroring that growth in students, research, and innovation. Our mission is simple. Our School aims to be recognized as world leader of excellence, innovation, and advanced research in the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology.
At SST, we offer a variety of different degree programs, each of which offers broad educational opportunities and career paths: Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Computing and Data Science and Informatics. These programs are tailored as per national and international industrial requirements. We offer specializations in Software Development, Web Engineering, Mobile Application Development, Machine Learning, Data Science, Software Engineering, Software Quality Assurance, and Network Security and Administration. We also offer master, and doctoral degrees in many computer science and software engineering disciplines.
Adding to the thrilling prospect of the SST is the commencement of our Informatics and Data Science programs, which will commence in Fall 2017. These brand-new programs are built from the viewpoint of systems development instead of just being an adaption of the past. Its focus will be on the small-scale and mobile technologies that will advance the Internet of things and lead us into the future. Our strong ties with the business community and growing linkages with the technological world makes the SST one of the leading school at UMT.
I invite you to explore the exciting programs and become part of tremendous growth which is expected to continue even at faster pace. We will help you equip with latest technologies and skills to face the challenges and create the world of tomorrow.
This is an exciting year for the school and we hope you can be a part of it.
