Software engineering is the discipline of creating high- quality software systems in a systematic, controlled and efficient manner. It involves the application of engineering concepts, techniques, and methods to the design, development, deployment and maintenance of software systems. A software engineering program should develop professionals who have a mastery of principles, theory, practices, and processes necessary to produce quality software systems. Graduates of such programs will be able to function as proficient software developers and effective team members. They will have grounding in communication, mathematics and science, and the cultural, historical, and social issues that influence and effect or relate to the development of high quality software systems. They will have knowledge and experience with software product engineering and engineering management and an understanding of professional issues and practices. Graduates will be able to understand and assess their own software engineering capabilities and performance. The curriculum is designed to ensure breadth across allied disciplines and supporting subjects and depth in most areas of the software engineering body of knowledge.
Software engineering is the key area in domains of sciences that includes the development of high quality softwares. Professionals with software engineering skills are highly demanded all over the world due to its demand. Like any other conventional engineering, software engineering is also becoming an important engineering domain. Software engineering can make a remarkable future not only in software market but in telecom and other sector as well. The domain of software engineering is defining the new dimensions of research and development beyond the conventional computer science areas. Since its inception, software engineering has opened new venues in research and development. Many institutes all over the world are doing research on new development in software engineering.

Introduction:
The Master of Science in Computer Science is a highly technical program and therefore presumes previous experience in Computer Science. The core courses provide an advanced understanding of theoretical and applied computer science, which allows the student to begin exploring the specialization areas. It prepares students for advanced positions in industry and research.
The Master of Science in Computer Science is a highly technical program and therefore presumes previous experience in Computer science. The program consists of four core courses and a specialization track of three courses. The core courses provide an
48 advanced understanding of theoretical and applied computer science, which allows the students to begin exploring the specialization areas. It prepares students for advanced positions in industry and research.
• Approved courses of 24 credits in the major subject

The graduate program should embody sufficient flexibility to fulfill the requirements of either an
“academic” degree (Breadth-Based) obtained in preparation for further graduate study or a terminal
“professional” degree (Depth-Based). The discipline of Computer Science has matured enough that the distinction between academic and professional programs is beginning to appear. However, the concept of an utterly terminal program is not widely accepted in the field. All Computer Science academic programs should provide the possibility of additional study in the field. The proposed program is intended to establish an integrated breadth and depth based curriculum model to assure that the common aspects of various potential masters’ programs in Computer Science are captured. The proposed curriculum structure may be implemented within four-semester time. A project/ thesis work may be unified with student’s chosen depth oriented specialties. Generally graduate programs are structured with a common core of fundamental material and wide range of options for the rest of the course work.
• BS (CS) 4 Years Degree Program (min 130 credit hours), or
• Computer Science Conversion Course 2 Years
Degree Program referred to as “MCS” or “MSc
(CS)”.
• BCS-3 years Degree Program-Student will be required to complete the deficiency of difference of total earned credit hours and 120 credit hours.
• 16 year Science and Engineering graduates are
Eligible, but they have to cover deficiency.

Pakistan being a developing country of the 3rd millennium presents enviable opportunities for those who attain a master degree in economics. Economic sciences enjoy clear predominance over other social sciences just for their utility. Pursuing MSc Economics sharpens students’ intellectual depth. It helps to comprehend rules of economics and their practical application as a policy measure in the hands of those who analyze as thinkers and those who act in the political arena. The master degree in Economics not only broadens a student’s mind to national and global realities which are related to issues of economic survival in a competitive world but it also enables the candidates to sharpen their capabilities towards a global scenario of “how to produce” and “how to distribute” national and international wealth for ensuring the wellbeing of 6.5 billion people on the earth and help break the bondage of poverty of 191 nations of the world.
Doors are widely open in the 150 developing countries of the world (including Pakistan) for those who hold MSc (Economics) degree in the realm of public corporations, government offices, commercial banks, private businesses, NGOs, Stock markets, CSS,
Educational Institutions, Insurance Companies; besides, offers ample opportunities that await fresh graduates to join ADB, IDB, WB, IMF and a series of regional and global economics-based organizations.
