In response to the emergence of computer science and
information technology as a worldwide contemporary
discipline and high demand of professionals in the province,
The University of Agriculture Peshawar by virtue of its
geographic location and sufficient infrastructural
resources, established the Institute of Business and
Management Sciences (IBMS) in 1998 with a foremost aim to
provide quality education in the fields of Management
Sciences, Computer Science and Information Technology. Since
its inception, the growth achieved, in terms of students’
enrolment which increased every year is in itself a
reflection of its growing reliability and appeal amongst the
masses. Academic excellence in the field of computer
sciences and Information Technology under the umbrella of
IBMS is highly acknowledged and a separate institute namely
Institute of Computer Sciences and Information Technology
(ICS/IT) in the Faculty of Management and Computer Sciences
(FMCS) was notified on August 20, 2019.
State of the art computer labs, dynamic and committed faculty with strong academic background, congenial learning environment and innovative learning techniques are notable assets of the institute. ICS/IT offers the following degree programs: BS (Computer Science), BS (Information Technology), MS (Computer Science), MS (Information Technology), MS (Data Science) and PhD (Computer Science).
