MS in Telecommunication & Networks

Objective:
The Master of Science in Telecommunication and Networking at PIMSAT University is
designed for professionals currently in the fields of telecommunications and networking
who either wish to enhance their technical skills , or to make a transition to the area of
telecommunications and networking. The degree of Master of Science in
Telecommunication and networking is offered by the Department of Computing and
Technology is designed according to international standards of curriculum in this field.
The whole program consists of 33 credit hours, however, the number of credit hours
may be more in case students have not completed 4 year engineering education after
F.Sc/A-Level. s

Admission Requirements:
All candidates are required to submit an application for admission to the graduate
program along with the official transcripts from previous institutions attended. Applicants
are required to appear in the aptitude test for admission.

Applicants are expected to meet the following requirements:

A Baccalaureate degree in the Computer/Electronics/Telecom/Electrical
Engineering/Sciences or in a related field. (Students who do not have an Engineering/
Sciences background may have to take additional courses).
It is expected that prospective students of this program will have a strong background in
the following areas: C programming language, probability and statistics, and calculus. A
set of prerequisite courses is available to bridge any gap in the technical background. All
prerequisite courses must be taken unless waived by the admission committee with the
approval of the Dean.

Duration of the Program:

Total duration of the MS program is two years by completing 33 credit hours.

Academic Model and Courses

Course Work
The courses are divided into two major categories: core courses and electives. An MS
student will be required to take all the core courses and the remaining courses are elective
and can be selected from the elective list.

Thesis/Project
Students will conduct research under the supervision of a faculty member in the
Computing and Technology Department. It is recommended that during the first year into
the graduate program a student must identify a faculty member of the department as
advisor, and must choose MS thesis/project topic from a given list of projects. Students
are encouraged to select projects of their own interest (but is subject to the availability of
relevant equipment and faculty member to supervise the project).
For the oral exam, the student after consulting his/her advisor will suggest two faculty
members for the examining committee, for the defense of his/her thesis, to the Dean
PIMSAT University. One member of the committee could be from outside the
Department, or from other accredited institution in Pakistan/abroad, or from the industry.
In the case of industry, the member must hold at least a Master's degree in the relevant
field. Upon successful defense, the student will submit his/her thesis for the award of
degree.
