BS Artificial Intelligence – Beaconhouse National University

Beaconhouse National University offers a four-year BS Artificial Intelligence through its School of Computer and Information Technology (SCIT) at the Tarogil Campus, 13 km off Thokar Niaz Baig on Raiwind Road, Lahore. The degree is structured across eight semesters and totals 139 credit hours including the final project, according to the official program page.

Program Overview

The BSAI plan at BNU moves from core computing (programming, data structures, databases) into dedicated AI coursework: machine learning, neural networks and deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, knowledge representation and AI ethics, finishing with a project in the eighth semester. Pre-Medical entrants take Mathematics I and II as additional non-credit courses. Given BNU’s strength in visual arts and media, the program is attractive to students interested in creative AI, generative media and human-centred intelligent products as well as conventional data science.
