Applications will be invited through the University’s website, newspapers, and other media. The invitation should be for all interested candidates who are the holder of Masters of Science (MSc.) or Engineering (MEng) Degree in Computer or any other related Computer engineering program from a recognised University or Institution of higher learning approved with at least a GPA of 3.0/5.0, average of B or Distinction in a relevant field and at least Lower Second Class at Bachelor level.

A graduate of this program should be able to; 

1.  Analyse complex computer science and engineering-related challenges with emphasis to use of locally available resources;

2. Analyse the application of computer science and engineering in industries and the community;

3.  Evaluate the existing laws, regulations and policies applied in computer science and engineering;

4.  Design software processes and methodologies;

5. Have a strong understanding of computer hardware and software concepts;

6.  Design models for simulation, optimization, predicting, forecasting and evaluating the performance of computer engineering systems;

7. Interpret scientific data, information, and laboratory results and generate information for application in computer engineering systems, and

8.  Apply the scientific method in gaining technical expertise and lab skills on computer engineering-related issues.

The program is research-based programme, which depends on research and the assessment includes the preparation of  three papers in which two papers must be published and one paper is accepted.

Independent research: At least one paper published or accepted
