Message form the Dean, School of Science
On behalf of our faculty members and staff, we are pleased to welcome you
all to the Kathmandu University School of Science (KUSOS) which is a unique
and signatory school of KU established in 1991 AD. Its mission statement is
“Quality Education for Leadership”. We have crossed a milestone of 25 years
of establishment in the year 2017 and at the silver jubilee celebration have,
synthesized six initiatives as guiding principle for the university with Vision
2030 i.e. Quality, Impact, Equity, Global Engagement, Identity and
Innovation.
The KUSOS is, no doubt, a leading school with highly qualified and senior
faculties who are regularly involved in teaching, research and project
activities. Students at KUSOS have both academic as well as non-academic
extracurricular activities for their exposure. Student need to visit the
department and ask their concerned course instructor(s) or HoD how to be
benefited of the valuable resources and useful instructions besides
classroom direct interaction.
The major role of the Office of the Dean, in coordination with its
department(s) is to take care of academic and administrative affairs for the
welfare of students, faculties and staff with proper information and
implementation as per the updated well defined KU policies and guidelines.
We believe that while maintaining discipline, each student of KUSOS is
capable and confident to work hard in achieving the goal and impart the
knowledge to the community. I request our students to contact us directly
for the proper instruction and to follow the right approach to get the
solution.
Finally, students’ feedback is very important and necessary part of our
quality assessment system, and so, we expect every one of you participating
in this process without any hesitation.
Also, being a KUSOS Alumni, I feel proud to lead our school and I am always

background of Physics and Mathematics required for pursuing
higher studies.
 Promotion of research & development activities by
interdepartmental collaboration at colleges and Universities.
 Establishment of collaborative relationship with national and
foreign institutions of similar functions for mutual benefits by the
exchange of students and sharing of knowledge and technology for
the benefits of human kind.
 Production of globally acceptable competent graduates.
Students graduating with the physics degrees are in high demand and
often command a premium on the job market. Graduates may work
in the technology sector, industry or government, or go on to research
and teaching careers.
 Minimum grade of C+ each in PCM (Physics, Chemistry and
minimum of grade C in remaining subjects with extra Math. OR, if
the student has been evaluated in percentage system, minimum
50% in aggregate of PCM or PCB.
4. Financial Aid and Scholarship
Supercomputer Center at KU

 Each Semester GPA merit based full tuition fee waiver scholarship
 Full tuition fee waiver Merit-based Scholarship to the entrance
 Need and merit based partial tuition fee waiver scholarships as
per KU provisions.
5. Teaching Methodology
The classes are designed with the philosophy of learner centeredness
where the teacher acts as facilitators and the focus is given to
students’ learning activities. All the teachers will keep each of their
students’ progress profiles.
There are tutorial classes which will include group work, discussion,
problem solving and other text based practices.
Assignments, practical and consultations are most integral parts of
this program. The concerned teacher will give assignments to all
students every week and students must do the assignments in the
given time. For various activities, the concerned teachers will decide
whether to form mixed ability classes or diagnostic classes. It could
also incorporate other activities like seminars, talks, role-plays,
presentations and discussions as per the requirements of the
subjects.

B. Sc. In Computer Science
Founded in 1991, Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, has rapidly achieved a
status of one of the top institutions in the nation for higher education and
scientific research. With the need to develop and deploy the digital concepts
that are changing the world rapidly with astonishing inventions and
innovation, KU launched B.Sc. in Computer Science in 1994 under the
department of Computer Science & Engineering.
1. Why Computer Science?
The study of Computer Science spans a wide range, from its
theoretical and algorithms foundations to cutting-edge developments
in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics, and
other exciting areas. The work of a Computer Science graduates falls
into three categories:
- They develop effective ways to solve computing problems,
- They devise new ways to use computers,
- They design and implement software.
2. What are the career opportunities?
 Academic Institutions,
 Software Development,
 Banking Sectors,
 Industries,
 Government Organizations (civil services),
 INGOs/NGOs,
 Many more.
3. What is the Admission Eligibility?
minimum of grade C in remaining subjects. OR, if the student has
been evaluated in percentage system, minimum 50% in aggregate
of PCM or PCB.
4. Financial-Aid and Scholarship
 Each Semester GPA merit based full tuition fee waiver scholarship
 Full tuition fee waiver Merit-based Scholarship to the entrance
 Need and merit based partial tuition fee waiver scholarships as
per KU provisions.
