Given the relevance of computational sciences in shaping the world today, the school has been established with a vision to be one of the leading centres of education and research in computing technologies.
Transcending conventional disciplinary boundaries, the school seeks to dream big in the development and application of computing to diverse areas of human affairs and seeks to create maximal impact through the quality of its output.
With the advent of the digital revolution, computer science is inarguably one of the most important fields today with applications ranging across a wide spectrum of activities. The rise and success of computer science and technology has engendered the Data revolution that requires advanced mathematical and computational skills for its analysis and application to drive efficiencies and affect change.
Words like Machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Social Media, FinTech, Self-Driving Vehicles have become part of common vocabulary. It is no surprise that the demand for computer and data scientists is not keeping pace with the supply, and given its potential, will be so for many years to come.
One can see its application in not only conventional areas but across sectors as diverse as Finance and Insurance, Transportation, Security, Healthcare, Agriculture, Drug Discovery to name a few.
Through its academic offerings, the School of Computing and Data Science seeks to educate the next generation of industry and thought leaders who will play a transformational role in the affairs of the world.
The school has been established to be one of the leading centres of education and research in computing technologies. It aims to enable an environment for our faculty to pursue interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research in this field.
