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.
In the Computer Science Department of GUtech we educate the next generation of computer scientists in Oman and the Gulf region. Our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science offers a major in computer science with a minor in information systems and it is the only internationally accredited computer science programme in Oman (accredited by ACQUIN in 2009). It was developed in close cooperation with the Computer Science Department of RWTH Aachen University, the parent university of GUtech 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.

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.
