Overview
Computer science occupations are the fastest growing among all engineering and technology disciplines.
Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech). Computers are ubiquitous in modern life, e.g., mobile communications, transport, manufacturing, security, finance, law, medicine, etc. Computer science graduates are highly regarded for their analytical modelling and problem solving skills, and computer science occupations are the fastest growing among all engineering and technology disciplines.
We offer a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science.
The BSc in Computer science offers candidates a minor in information systems. It is the only internationally accredited computer science programme in Oman (accredited by ACQUIN since 2009). The BSc programme was developed in close cooperation with the Computer Science Department at RWTH Aachen University, our affiliate university and one of five distinguished elite universities in Germany. Our students benefit not only from our close ties with RWTH Aachen University but also from the multi-cultural environment at GUtech with its international faculty and student body.
The MSc in Computer enables candidates to focus on Data Science or Technology Management. The MSc programme capitalizes on our ties to RWTH Aachen University and on our collaboration with Hasselt University in Belgium.

Programmes
The BSc in Computer Science (CS) is a four year programme with a major in computer science and a minor in information systems. A minimum number of 240 credit points must be earned in 25 core courses, seven elective courses, five language and cultural skills courses, an internship, and a bachelor`s thesis. The programme offers a strong foundation in theoretical and practical computer science and its applications in business. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of informatics and engineering, communication and technology, and culture including a solid understanding of the business context. Furthermore, we expect from our graduates to be fluent in English and to have a basic knowledge of German.
