ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

About the Programme

The Master of Science in Computer Science, is a 2-year programme, provides you a comprehensive curriculum consisting of academic and applied knowledge of CS and IT technology management and emerging technologies in large data processing and analysis.

You will have the flexibility to specialise in ‘Data Science’ or ‘Technology Management’, while gaining a broad basis in Computer Science with a concrete foundation in the innovation, application and management of computer science applications across a range of disciplines. You will receive international teaching with faculty members from GUtech, RWTH Aachen University as well as several other European universities.

Subjects taught included machine learning, big data analytics, and network forensic as well as network security. By choosing a specialisation, you can prepare yourself for your favourite career path.

The MSc programme is also tailored to equip you with entrepreneurial skills matching the national priorities for a profitable and sustainable growth.

Career and Studies Opportunities

The MSc in Computer Science is a career oriented, multidisciplinary programme. It is suitable for students who are interested in the general area of designing and managing large IT infrastructure. The degree can result in interesting and wide employment opportunities which include, data centre manager, network specialist, data analyst, network security manager, etc. In addition, the graduates of the programme can enroll in innovation and consultancy companies or start their own IT company providing much needed IT services based on emerging technologies to companies and government organizations in the region.

Aside from industry, graduates may go on to pursue consultancy as well as research careers, whether through doctoral study in academia or commercial research.


STRUCTURE

The Master of Science in Computer Science is a four (4) semester programme, capped off with a Master Thesis. In the first three (3) semesters of the programme you will be able to complete twelve (12) courses, equivalent to a total workload of 120 credit points in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). In the last semester, you will work on the Master’s thesis.

Each semester you will be able to enroll in up to four (4) courses, which will allow you to complete twelve (12) courses in three (3) semesters, before proceeding to the Master’s thesis in the fourth semester. You may also choose to enroll in fewer than 4 courses a semester. However, this will take a bit longer to complete the programme.

All courses are offered in evenings and weekends.

You will have the opportunity to study a subject in depth from these six knowledge areas: Management, Network Security, Data Science, Emerging Technologies, Development, and Research. By selecting electives, you will specialise in either ‘Data Science’ or ‘Technology Management’.

  • The Data Science (MSc CSDS) specialisation requires you to take at least six courses from the areas of Network Security and Data Science.
  • The Technology Management (MSc CSTM) specialisation requires you to take at least six courses from the areas Management and Emerging Technologies.

To complete the programme, you will have to earn a total of 120 ECTS credit points distributed as follows:

  • 72 ECTS credit points for course work & internship,
  • 18 ECTS credit points for research and thesis preparation course
  • 30 ECTS credits for the Master’s thesis.

GUtech has a ‘Study Abroad’ agreement with Hasselt University in Belgium. This allows you to take one more semester abroad and earn a second MSc degree in Transportation.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Academic requirements:

The programme is for graduate students and professionals holders of a recognised bachelor degree in:

  • Information Sciences
  • Computer Science
  • Computer Engineering

It is certainly possible to apply to our programme with a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than computer science. You must, however, possess a demonstrably strong background in computer science and a basic background in mathematics, as evidenced by a work experience in a computer science field.

Eligibility will be based on academic and work certificates as well as personal interviews.

Language requirements:

The programme is taught in English and an academic level of proficiency in this language is imperative.

Applicants must provide adequate proof of English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL 79 internet-based test, IELTS 6.0 or equivalent).

For questions regarding the application process, please send your enquiry via e-mail: PG@gutech.edu.om.

COURSE OUTLINE

The Master programme offers specialisation tracks in:

  • Computer Science,
  • Data Science,
  • Technology Management.

In each of the first three semesters of full-time study, you will earn 24 ECTS credit points from course work and internships and 6 ECTS credit points from a research and thesis preparation course. In the fourth semester, you will earn 30 ECTS credit points from a Master thesis. Internships will usually be scheduled outside of the regular teaching period.

For part-time students, courses will be scheduled in several compact blocks of lectures (one week per month) with plenty of self-study time in between for assignments and projects. Typically, each course will earn 6 ECTS credit points and will run for eight weeks (i.e., half a semester), with two courses running in parallel. This will result in a semester course load of four courses with a total of 24 ECTS credit points. The remaining 6 ECTS credits represent the research and thesis preparation course.
