BS Computer Science – Cyber Security

BS Cyber Security prepares students to understand computing foundations and then specialize in protecting networks, software, cloud systems, data, and digital infrastructure from modern threats.

As organizations use more digital systems and AI-supported workflows, they also face stronger risks related to hacking, data leakage, online fraud, malware, privacy, and system misuse. Cyber security graduates are trained to reduce these risks responsibly.

Yes. Students use AI and digital tools for learning, programming support, documentation, security reporting, dashboards, cloud awareness, threat analysis, and professional portfolio development while maintaining ethics, originality, and human judgment.

Yes. Students can begin with safe beginner-level portfolios such as cyber awareness material, basic programming work, secure documentation, security checklists, and supervised technology projects. These are learning opportunities and do not guarantee income or employment.

Students can start building safe beginner-level work such as cyber awareness content, simple programming exercises, website safety checklists, and digital documentation. These activities support learning and portfolios; they are not a promise of income.

Graduates may pursue roles in cyber security analysis, network security, cloud security, digital forensics, incident response, secure software, DevSecOps, security operations, IT risk, and cyber awareness.

Yes, but only through lawful, ethical, and skill-appropriate work. Students can learn to create cyber awareness services, secure documentation, basic security reports, and security-focused digital solutions while avoiding unsafe or unauthorized activities.

The program combines computing foundations with security-specific courses such as network security, digital forensics, applied cryptography, cloud security, penetration testing, security analytics, DevSecOps, and AI for cyber security.

Applicants with HSSC, A-Levels, or an IBCC-recognized equivalent qualification involving at least 12 years of schooling may apply, subject to University and program requirements.

Yes. Students should have studied Mathematics at Intermediate level. Students without Intermediate Mathematics must complete 6 credit hours of Mathematics deficiency courses in the first year where applicable.

The uploaded program roadmap specifies at least 50% marks for admission to BS Computing programs.

AD Computing graduates may be considered for fifth-semester admission subject to HEC pathway rules, minimum CGPA requirement, departmental approval, seat availability, bridging requirements, and University policy.

No. Admission is confirmed only after eligibility verification, required documents, equivalence where applicable, seat availability, fee process, and confirmation through the official admission system.

The normal duration is four years across eight regular semesters.

The roadmap includes 130 total credit hours.

Students study General Education, mandatory Computer Science core, Cyber Security specialization electives, interdisciplinary/allied courses, professional certification, internship/field experience, and a final year project.

Yes. The program includes a 6-credit-hour Final Year Project where students apply computing and cyber security learning to a supervised practical problem.

The current semester fee is PKR 135,000 per semester for undergraduate programs under the Faculty of Computer Science & IT, subject to official admission-system confirmation and University policy.

For undergraduate Computer Science and IT programs, the merit scholarships are offered as follows: 90% and above marks: 40% scholarship; 80% to 89% marks: 35% scholarship; 70% to 79% marks: 30% scholarship; and 60% to 69% marks: 10% scholarship.

Kinship discount may be available up to 25% and alumni discount may be available up to 50%, subject to verification, eligibility, and University policy.
