A Doctorate In Computer Science (DCS) provides intensive research preparation in design, programming, theory, and application. This programme is offered to both academically-minded students and students with professional goals, industrial, and government jobs that require advanced knowledge of computer theory and technology. This Doctoral degree research focuses on algorithms, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, computer and network security, database systems, data mining, distributed algorithms, and many other core areas of computer science.
In many ways, the Doctorate In Computer Science programme is the cornerstone of computer science at the EIMT Institute. With a DCS degree, you can become an expert in the technical subfield of computer science and advance the state of the art by contributing original research in this field. Many DCS students also gain practical experience in the classroom and become visible members of the research community by presenting their research and giving oral presentations at conferences and research seminars. Our DCS students have contributed largely to various companies across diverse industries in solving technical issues. ...
The goal of the DCS programme is to produce a new generation of computer science graduates with a broad background in information technology, project management, and interpersonal skills. Graduates of this programme not only possess strong technical expertise in their field but also the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams and tackle problems that require both technical and non-technical solutions.
This degree is distinctive from other existing computer science degrees as it focuses on both applied research and professional skills development. Most graduates of this programme aim to pursue careers in industrial research and software development. The programme also prepares graduates for careers in academia, although most graduates of this programme are expected to choose a career in industry. Focused on the skills necessary for success, it is market-oriented and reflects the Institute's goal of providing quality professional training.
