Program Objectives

The objective of PhD Computer Science program is to support the student’s continued professional development and helps to build research career in industry and academia. Students who complete the PhD degree in Computer Science will be able to demonstrate:

• Conduct sufficient and effective research in computer science collaboratively with peers.
• Advanced knowledge of research methodology, theoretical computer science foundation, and also demonstrate research problems and conduct surveys.
• The skills that help to become teacher and researcher in both academia and industry.
• Conduct sufficient and effective research in computer science collaboratively with peers.

Computing and information technology are the fastest growing occupations in the world. Students with a degree in computer science are qualified to pursue a career in a wide variety of computing careers, dealing with software development or system design and analysis. Software architects have been one of most heavily paid professionals in the recent years. Database administrators and Information systems security engineers are equally more likely to grab excellent career prospects.
