BS Computer Science – Beaconhouse National University

The BS Computer Science at Beaconhouse National University (BNU) is a four-year, eight-semester degree offered by the School of Computer and Information Technology (SCIT) at the Tarogil Campus on Raiwind Road, Lahore. BNU is a private, HEC-recognised university known for its liberal arts and design culture, and its computing school sits alongside schools of architecture, visual arts, media and management.

Program Overview

The official SCIT page lists the BSCS at 134 credits spread over eight semesters, covering programming, object-oriented design, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, networks, software engineering and a capstone project. BNU’s smaller class sizes and cross-school electives mean CS students can take courses in design, media or business, which suits applicants who want to combine software skills with product thinking, game development or creative technology.
