Military College of Signals (MCS) is a premier institution of the Pakistan Army and has established itself as a centre of professional excellence. MCS was established in 1947 as School of Signals. In order to fulfil Pakistan Army’s requirement for telecom engineers, the College was affiliated with Royal School of Signals in 1960. In 1977, it got affiliated with University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore for award of telecommunication degree and thus upgraded as Military College of Signals. After becoming a constituent college of NUST in 1991, Military College of Signals expanded its scope and inducted its first batch of 25 civilian students. The College started undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Software Engineering and a Masters programme in Telecommunication and Information Security under NUST. In 2001, the College started its PhD programme in all three disciplines and to date 9 PhDs have graduated and 12 are pursuing their degree. At present, the College is producing over 200 graduates every year.

Bachelors in Software Engineering

Programme Description

Software is central to our lives. We interact daily with software systems; at home through computer games, at the office through online services and in the car through embedded control systems. Software Engineering applies both, computer science and engineering principles and best practices to the design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and evolution of software. Our Software Engineering programme covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues. This programme is an amalgamation of strong applied science knowledge, applications of engineering practice and an ability to understand the impact of technology. We endeavour to help students carry out both theoretical and experimental research in software engineering and to disseminate the results in the form of publications, patents and technology transfer to industry.

Associated Careers

The software industry has grown exponentially over the years; mechanical and electronic devices in automobiles, aeroplanes, entertainment and communication equipment and manufacturing are being replaced by software components because software is more adaptable, and can provide greater functionality. The ubiquity of software applications has created a multitude of career prospects for our graduates. Our graduates normally find employment with major service providers and large private industrial groups. There are a number of opportunities available within smaller service and technology providers, some of which are highly specialised and technologically advanced.

Software is used in medical, transportation and financial systems to automate critical tasks. Scientists and business researchers use software to sift through data warehouses and identify pertinent facts and trends. Banking, insurance, and other businesses use software to automate and personalise the services they offer to their customers. This proliferation of software applications has increased the demand for software professionals in Pakistan and all over the world. A hundred percent of our graduates get employed or opt for higher studies/professional trainings after the completion of their degrees. Our graduates normally find employment with major service providers and large private industrial groups.

MS Leading to PhD in Information Security Systems

Programme Description

Cyber threats to federal information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures are evolving and growing. These threats can be unintentional and intentional, targeted or non-targeted, and can come from a variety of sources, such as foreign nations engaged in espionage and information warfare, criminals, hackers, virus writers, disgruntled employees and contractors working within an organisation. As government, private sector, and personal activities continue to move to networked operations; digital systems add ever more capabilities; wireless systems become more ubiquitous and as the design, manufacture, and service of information technology have moved overseas, the threat will continue to grow. In the absence of robust security programmes, agencies have experienced a wide range of incidents involving data loss or theft, computer intrusions and privacy breaches; underscoring the need for improved security practices.

Information Security Centre of Excellence

This setup is aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities faced by the national information infrastructure and cyber-space, by producing more qualified graduates and researchers in the various disciplines of Information Security, as well as indigenously designing and delivering technological solutions. The research and technical solutions designed at the proposed Information Security Centre of Excellence, will provide import substitute and enhanced level of trust.

Associated Careers

The programme is focused to produce professionals competent enough to offer solution for Information Security problems in the market. Graduates of this programme will be able to address information security related issues in present and future era of Information Technology. The need of Information Security has grown dramatically over the last few years. Like the Industrial Revolution, the Information Technology Boom, which started in the 1990’s and is still present today, has dramatically changed commerce around the world. This is mostly due to advancement of technology in computers, telecommunications equipment, and networking standards, leading to the development and widespread use of the Internet. This propagation of information security has led to an urgent and growing demand for information security professionals in Pakistan and all over the world. A hundred percent of our graduates go into employment or higher studies/professional trainings immediately after completion of their degrees. Our graduates normally pursue careers in major service providers such as PTCL, Warid, Mobilink, Zong, Ufone, Telenor and Special Communication Organisation (SCO); large private industrial groups such as Microsoft, NetSol, Ericsson, and Cisco; and a host of smaller service and technology providers.
