Faculty of Information & Communication Technology

Department of Information Technology

Science and Technology have shaped the globe in almost all fields of life. It has changed the way we do business, learn, communicate, and even how we entertain ourselves. Success in any field – law, medicine, business, education, entertainment, finance and investment – requires a command of Technology. Moreover, innovations in technology have enabled us to connect everything to the internet (Internet of Things-IoT). The department of Information technology aspires to equip students with a grasp of knowledge which can enable them to contribute to advancing technologies.

The Department of Information Technology at BUITEMS was founded in 2007 as an undergraduate program later on expanded its offerings to MS in Information Technology. The department has a growing, vibrant, research-oriented faculty who take great pride in research and education. We, at Department of Information Technology, are committed to imparting quality education in all horizons of IT including fields of computer communication, networking, security, software development, database management systems, programming, telecommunication management, artificial intelligence, enterprise systems and to examine the technical issues related to technology implementation.

The MS program of the department offers a two-year research degree in the specialized fields of telecommunication systems engineering and power systems engineering. The graduate students are required to complete the 24 credit hours of graduate-level courses and perform the six credit hours of research under the supervision of our well-qualified PhD faculty members.

Ranked by Higher Education Commission (HEC) as one of the top undergraduate programs in the field of IT in the country, the program prepares the students with a sound knowledge base of programming, systems analysis and design, business telecommunications, and database management with a concentration in a variety of areas. Our graduates are expected to have well rounded and a wide range of knowledge and competence in the sector of information science and technology. They are trained to work in the field of the production, development, management and maintenance of Technological systems, both for companies that produce information systems and computer networks and for companies, administrations, services and laboratories that use them.
