A synopsis on the Computer Science Course in Qatar

The word “Computer Science” is all about delineation, exploration and upheaval of computing. It is in line with the usage of different tools in our daily life, such as email, social network, web search, as well as technologies involved in modern aviation, robotics and self-ruling cars. Computer science is the driving force behind all engineering, scientific business and for many other emanate area. So, to unfold the perfect blend of innovation and experimentation we invite you to Qatar to encounter both theoretical and practical environment required for a successful career in different potential prospects.

What to Study:

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science:

Many deemed universities follow curriculums which are recognised worldwide. For example, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar follows the modules of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science, which is known as a leader in various segments of Computer Science globally. Their programs entice and groom students to flaunt creative and fundamental development skills for emerging technologies like mathematical, algorithmic & logical reasoning and programming skills. Students can pursue secondary subjects and channelize their computing knowledge in various facets of the industry. The courses offer not only theoretical but also practical knowledge which can be used to gain experience in real-life scenarios through projects.

• Courses Offered:

Students who would think of studying a bachelor’s degree in computer science must have a minimum of 360 units in computer science, engineering and natural sciences, mathematics/probability, humanities and arts, required minor, computing and free electives.

• Big Data and Machine Learning

In today’s world of digitization and technology, countless businesses, scientific disciplines and applications must fetch, accumulate, wipe-off and examine enormous amounts of data to excerpt acute information. We offer students to learn different machinery techniques to extract information, create extensive database management systems and utilize framework and cloud network for processing this information.

• Robust and Secure Systems

A secured operation, integrity in data maintenance and availability of systems and resources are some critical and required facts in a world which are digitally connected. All the learners need to have an in-depth understanding of the system software which includes device operating systems, network systems & protocols and basic distribution of system challenges to have a strong alliance between numerous devices in various settings.

• Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Most of the organisations have replaced their traditional working methods with automation and delegation with the trust of getting the work done more effectively, methodically and safely by intelligent software systems or robots. These technologies are unified from numerous areas of computing to equip applications ranging from large-scale industrial automated factories to navigation of robots in dangerous disaster areas or a technically sounded safer driverless vehicle.

• Cutting Edge Application

Countless applications like natural language processing, web applications have gained popularity to the extent where they are now sub-disciplines in the world of computer science. They enable us to communicate with machines, automated translations and computational biology using computer science for the learning and analysis of biological systems.

• Theory and Logic

In this case, if you consider the way of programming as the first step then the path of becoming a perfect programmer is the next level of challenge. Our courses on theory and logic will let you explore the integrities of languages, automation, graph theory, complexity, sequential and parallel algorithms. Once the basics about these concepts are clear to an individual, it becomes easy to answer questions like, whether the program solves the problem or not, it finishes within the admissible time limit or at an instance of the differently framed problem can the data-structures and algorithms be used wisely.

• Programming Paradigms

Programming being the basic communicating tool for computer scientists, we make people learn the best way to program functional, object-oriented and essential paradigms with attention to correctness of programs. We also offer an opportunity where students may opt to learn the designing and implementation of their programming languages.

• Cutting Edge Research

Since we understand the difficulty of exposure to cutting-edge research faced by a computer science student, our Universities have innumerable opportunities to involve in research. Also, we have the option of self-nomination for the senior thesis project, one-on-one guidance by a faculty mentor and internship with one of the research groups.

• Career Opportunities:

Ample employment opportunities for graduates are offered in software engineering and development, financial analysis, game programming, design engineering and consulting. They can pursue emerging industries like language technologies, computational biotics, human interaction and robotics.

Pursuing computer science will lead your career to Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Graphics Programmer, Machine learning specialist, Software engineer, Network Architect, Data Scientist, Business Intelligence Analyst, Design Engineer and Applications Developer.

• Employment Opportunities:

When it comes to employment opportunities, the giant companies in the market have opened their doors for computer science graduates, such as AirBnB, Exxon Mobil Qatar, General Electric, Google, Microsoft, Ooredoo, Qatar Airways, Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Shell.
