Department of Computer Science, University of Kerala has engraved a strong post graduate culture in computer studies. It provides four streams in Master level programmes: M. Tech Computer Science with specialization in Digital Image Computing, M.Sc. Computer Science, M.Sc. Computer Science with specialization in AI, and M.Sc. Computer Science with specialization in ML. The department offers research-oriented programmes, guided by renowned faculty, in a conducive environment for learning, thinking and achieving program specific goals.
M.Sc. Computer Science provides students a clear understanding of the basic concepts and principles of Computer Science as a discipline and the rich and specialized skill sets required to handle the computing systems in an applied branch of knowledge that represent a realistic world. All aspects of knowledge acquisition, storage, processing, presentation and transition will be covered in the course. Provision for advanced knowledge in computer science, exposure to the practical and theoretical concepts of computing, current and emerging trends in technology in the context of networking environment are the major attractions of the programme.
This program is designed to equip the students with skills needed to create dynamic web applications, develop smart mobile applications, design cutting-edge AI models. As part of the course, the students are advised to take live projects and case studies of six month duration from established institutions for implementation during their dissertation term. The M.Sc. Computer Science programme was introduced in 1989 at the University of Kerala, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the computing education.
Program Specific Objectives
i. Students will be able to adapt the skills to implement effective solutions for need-based problems by applying knowledge gained through different programming languages, tools, and software covered in the curriculum of the program.
ii. Pursue life-long learning in practice and contribution through socially relevant research.
iii. Proceed to a successful life with social concern, positive attitude, and ethics.
iv. Demonstrate the ability to provide solutions for complex problems in making decisions based on big data and data science.
v. Develop application skill set in algorithm design, optimization, and improved performance in computing.
