Overview

Computer Science is a field that extends far beyond mere programming skills. It encompasses the study of computation's fundamental principles, including what can be computed and the efficiency of various computational methods. Students delve into various aspects of computing, including computer architecture, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and software design. They also explore how to construct networks that facilitate seamless communication across different platforms and how to model complex problems through simulation and algorithmic design.The Computer Science department at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) boasts a faculty renowned for their research contributions. Students are encouraged to engage in research initiatives that span theoretical computation, computer networks, data mining, and robotics, among other areas. These research opportunities not only enhance learning but also address real-world challenges, such as developing systems for agricultural communication and improving judicial record-keeping.A degree in Computer Science (CS) from LUMS equips graduates for diverse career paths in a rapidly evolving job market. Since its inception in 1994, the department has seen its alumni secure prestigious positions both domestically and internationally. Many graduates have successfully launched their own ventures, while others have gained admission to elite graduate programmes at institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, and Cornell.The curriculum adheres to a ‘no boundaries’ philosophy, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive education that includes a robust core in fundamental sciences and mathematics, alongside significant exposure to humanities and social sciences. This interdisciplinary approach fosters well-rounded graduates who are prepared to tackle multifaceted challenges.
