Software Engineering

B. Sc. in Software Engineering (Major in Cyber Security)

 

The objective of the M.Sc. Program

The Master of Science Degree in Software Engineering provides specialized knowledge and experience in developing and modifying large, complex software systems. It emphasizes technical and management aspects of the software engineering process.
Software engineering is an established discipline based on requirement analysis, design, construction, testing, maintenance, economics, and management issues of software engineering. A pragmatic approach to problem solving is the hallmark of a software engineer. Software engineers are concerned with the theoretical and practical aspects of technology, cost, and social impact of software systems that are both effective and efficient.
Software engineers are in demand in every segment of society affected by computing technology. Potential employers include all software vendors and Internet-based companies, electronic business organizations, businesses that build and sell computers, research and development laboratories, aerospace companies, government contractors, banks, insurance companies, and manufacturing organizations. The master’s program is concerned with both technical and managerial issues, but the primary emphasis is placed on the technical aspects of building and modifying high quality software systems.

  • Currently, we are conducting M.Sc. in Software Engineering with three options.
  • M.Sc. in Software Engineering (without major)
  • M.Sc. in Software Engineering with Major in Cyber Security
  • M.Sc. in Software Engineering with Major in Data Science

Eligibility for Admission

The requirements for admission in M.Sc in Software Engineering degree program are:

  • Completion of the bachelor’s degree from a recognized university or an accredited institution of higher education in science, engineering or a related field
  • The applicant must have a CGPA of 2.5 or above (in the scale of 4.0), or at least second class in the bachelor’s degree.
  • The applicant must have completed the enlisted prerequisite courses or their equivalent.
  • Applicants, not completing the enlisted prerequisite courses, will be admitted on condition that she/he completes these courses in one or two semesters.

Evaluation of applicants for admission is based primarily on the student’s academic record in relevant undergraduate coursework. Provisional admission can be given to an applicant awaiting the result of her/his bachelor’s degree. Students who have work experience in the software engineering field but do not have the required academic background may also qualify to apply for admission to the software engineering field.

Total Credit and Duration of the Program

The summary of the program is given below:

SWE/CSE/Equivalent Background Courses Credits Total Credits
