Department of Computer Science

The computer science department at Iqra University operates to provide computing facilities for education, research and general computing needs for the university. Our mission is to provide computing education that develops the students’ breadth of knowledge across different subject areas of computer science. Furthermore, it enables them to develop ability to apply the different processes of computer science theory, design, and implementation to solve inter-disciplinary problems.

The curriculum includes courses in computer programming, mathematical foundations of computer science, automata theory, algorithms, complexity theory, computer architecture, artificial intelligence, and other applications. Our well-designed undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs prepare our students for defining carriers in IT sectors, governmental sectors, law, corporate organizations or academia.

Vision of Department

The Computer Science Program is designed to ensure students’ professional growth by giving them best computing technical knowledge and practices at affordable cost.

Mission of Department

The mission of Computer Science Program is to produce computing professionals who can serve the society by their technical and innovative skills with ethical practices.
