2. OBJECTIVES

3. EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF PROGRAMME
 The MSc in Computer Science is an advanced degree which aims to
develop specialist knowledge in areas of Computer Science not covered
extensively at the undergraduate level.
 The primary aim of the theoretical modules is to introduce students to core
areas of theoretical computer science, to provide practical experience of
that theory and to introduce students to the technologies through which
theory-based tools are implemented.
 The systems modules aim to give students experience of the theory and
practice of designing programmable systems, with particular emphasis on
the design of concurrent and distributed applications.

4. THE PRINCIPLE AIMS OF THE DEGREE
 Develop graduates possessing a thorough understanding of one specialist area
of Computer Science
 Equip students with advanced computer-based scientific and engineering skills
 Provide a programme of study that benefits from our research strengths in
Computer Science
 Enable students to develop communication skills, initiative, professionalism
and the ability to work independently as well as with others
 Provide graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary for professional
careers or for postgraduate research.

5. METHODOLOGY

6. THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Computer sciences lay the theoretical foundation for information and
computer systems as well as the application of those foundations.
Whereas the theoretical computer science focuses more on formal methods.
Such as algorithms and data structures, the applied computer science closes
a gap to other disciplines and offers solutions in areas such as artificial
intelligence or health systems.
This M.Sc. is different in that it focuses on teaching theory and its
applications.
Students are exposed to programming languages and platforms as well as
methodologies for the creation, capture and presentation of text, graphics,
audio and moving images.

7. ADVANTAGE OF M.SC COMPUTER
SCIENCE

8. PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
The programme provides opportunities for learners to achieve the
following outcomes:
(a) Knowledge and understanding
 Understand the process of building computational systems in all its stages and be
able to demonstrate this understanding in supervised system building efforts
 Have advanced knowledge of the state of the art in a CS research area. The exact
specialisms available vary over time, but generally fall in the areas of: theory,
software engineering, high performance computing and databases.
 Understand Informatics research methodologies at a level that permits the student to
engage in future doctoral research
 Know the main research methodologies used in Informatics

9. INTELLECTUAL SKILL
 Develop literature review and analysis skills
 Specify a research question and identify the relevant background literature
 Graduates completing the MSc will be qualified to take up a strong
analytical role in assistive technology or software development teams
providing advice, guidance and planning for universal design and
accessibility.

10. Professional/subject/specific/practical skills
Develop project skills
Develop proposal writing skills
Undertake a substantive project (4-5 months) on the proposed topic
Write an extended research-style report

11. Professional/subject/specific/practical skills
Develop project skills
Develop proposal writing skills
Undertake a substantive project (4-5 months) on the proposed topic
Write an extended research-style report

12. TRANSFERABLE SKILLS
Deploy logical, analytical, and problem solving skills and to synthesize
solutions
Show self-direction and time management skills when working
independently
Develop skills needed for undertaking extended projects, including reviews,
time management and extended reports
Communicate effectively through a variety of media including oral, visual,
written, diagrammatic and on-line
Make effective use of learning materials and to acquire and apply
knowledge from a variety of sources.
The ability to work effectively with people from different cultural contexts
The ability of working to strict deadlines and effective time management

13. MODE OF STUDY

14. PROJECT WORK
The types of activity involved in each project will vary but will include
most of the following:
 Researching the literature and gathering background information.
 Analysing requirements, comparing alternatives and specifying a solution.
 Analysing and extending relevant theory in novel ways.
 Designing and implementing the solution.
 Experimenting with and evaluating the solution.
 Discussing existing results and presenting new research.
 Developing written and oral presentation skills.
The project is conducted individually by the student under the supervision
of a member of teaching staff. Students are formed into groups for the
purpose of a Review Meeting.

15. COURSE STRUCTURE

16. COURSE STRUCTURE
 The programme for the degree of Master of Science in COMPUTER
SCIENCE shall consist of two Academic years divided into four semesters.
Each semester consist of 90 working days.
 The course M.sc in Computer science is very popular amongst the new
rising market and thus has plenty of jobs related to the field.
 That is probably the reason that so many students are opting for this
course.
 The huge numbers of private as well as government colleges are proof of
the high demand of this course. The demand is high because the course
really has a lot of career opportunities in this modern era.
 educational paths to a computer career include majors in fields such as
business, mathematics and engineering with a minor or double major in
computer and information sciences.

17. PROGRAMEE STRUCUTE
 The period of study for the degree is two year.
 The emphasis in this course is on independent placement work.
 educational paths to a computer career include majors in fields such as
business, mathematics and engineering with a minor or double major in
computer and information sciences.

18. MCA (VS) MSC
 In the foreign countries post graduate degree only M.S (master of science)
not Master of computer Applications(MCA).so the M.sc computer science
is high eligible for foreign countries.
 In M.C.A degree duration on 3 years the syllabus followed by implements
of Under graduate level.
 The M.Sc computer science duration on 2 year and syllabus followed by
advance level of trends.
 In MCA all allied subject based on UG syllabus
 In MCA syllabus is prepared non computer science student easily pickup,
so the syllabus is beginners level only.
 No of papers studied in MCA = 25
 No of papers studied in MSC = 18

19. RESEARCH
 provide the student with the basis of transferable knowledge and skills
necessary for a successful research-oriented career in industry or academia,
with a particular orientation to computing-based disciplines.
 understand modes of communication in the computing sciences
 appreciate the structure of the literature of the computing sciences in
general and a chosen research field in particular
 methodically search the literature to investigate a research topic
 make effective presentations both orally and in writing

20. OPPORTUNITIES
 The field of Computer Science has a lot of applications in various areas of
work. Therefore various areas need the service of experts in the area of
Computer Science.
 Almost every field is computerized now which improves the career aspects
of these graduates. Certain certifications will help them to work in several
job profiles as well.
 They can do certain higher studies in the field that will perk up their
remuneration.
