Welcome to the Master of Science in Computing Website
Qatar University is launching an updated version of our graduate degree program in computing in fall 2016. This exciting program is one of its kind in Qatar. It is the first graduate program in Qatar addressing the broad and vibrant field of computing sciences and engineering, and the first graduate program in the College of Engineering. For the first time, the program started classes in Fall 2009.
Qatar's economy and growth are on an extremely positive note across all sectors of development. Qatar’s dynamic and vibrant economy demands higher-level skills in computing technologies to successfully meet the impeding challenges. In such an environment, Qatar needs talented people equipped with higher education to actively and more effectively participate in computing sectors. This program aims at preparing highly skilled well-qualified computing professionals who can meet the demand of corporate Qatar and contribute to national growth and development. The program will motivate and support lifelong learning for professionals who are already working and contributing to society. This program will equip graduates with state of the art expertise in computing and will develop their analytical, management, and research skills.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Qatar University has designed the curriculum by focusing on the high-level knowledge and skills expected from a graduate program in computing. The distinguishing characteristic of the master’s curriculum stresses applications of computing without neglecting research orientation. The Master of Science in Computing is a flexible graduate program taught by world-class faculty members drawn from all over the world. The program offers the selection of one of two focus areas: Computer Engineering and Computer Science. Students have the choice to select one of two options including the thesis option and project option. These options prepare students to advance their careers in industry or to pursue further study towards a Ph.D. in a computing field. All courses will normally be offered in the afternoon and evening. Therefore, working professionals are still able to join the program.
Are you ready to be a part of this exciting program? This is your opportunity to plant the seed for a brighter future.
Best Wishes & Good Luck!!
