HEC approves MS computer science programme for Virtual University

Islamabad, Feb 21, 2008: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has approved a project for introducing the MS degree programme at the Virtual University (VU), Lahore. The project was approved in HEC's recent meeting.

The MS programme will provide an in-depth study of computer science with focus on specific sub-domains and it will be spread over two years consisting of four semesters. 16 years of education is a prerequisite for admission to the programme. The programme will be a combination of course work and research work. Selection for the programme will be made through GRE test conducted by the National Testing Service (NTS).

The VU commenced its four-year BS programme in 2002 and now it has about 23,000 students. By the end of 2007, over 800 students had graduated from the university. The VU is the first university in Pakistan to provide higher education through the free to air satellite television broadcasts and internet.

The VU with its vast infrastructure spread across the country in the form of its virtual campuses will launch the programme at the VU campuses in Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad Lahore and Peshawar. The university will offer five scholarships in each batch.

A rise in Pakistan's IT industry has been witnessed in the last few years. A marked increase in software export figures is a clear indication of the industry's potential. It includes both IT enabled services and IT products. Daily Times
