The importance and need for development in Computer Science CS skills have been recognized as one of the key priorities to support the economic progression for Palestine. Previous studies show that the CS sector mainly depends on human resources and it needs to continuously grow in products and services provided to businesses government and households. This growth is essential to the local and global economy; CS alone contributes to the GDP with an estimated 8% while employing 3% of the total workforce. However one of the vital lacking issues is that most current CS programs are not compatible with the market needs; hence available programs should be upgraded to meet international trends.
Nowadays data science information security computer systems networking is considered emerging fields in research business and industry. The accelerated development in technology and its capabilities results in producing and maintaining a considerable amount of data. Computer science is an interdisciplinary field of statistical and computer sciences to discover knowledge typically all kinds of data. Therefore finding information a considerable amount of data is like searching for a needle in a massive haystack. Computer and data scientists use algorithms statistical methods machine learning techniques with data retrieval data mining explorations and more to achieve this goal.
We believe that this master%27s program in computer science with both tracks thesis and non-thesis based is essential to overcome this wide gap of lack of expertise and critical to improving the quality of CS sectors at personal and governmental levels and eventually improving economic business as well as industry. The program is intended for people who wish to broaden and deepen their understanding of computer science an emerging field and is becoming very important in research and business. The program provides a unique opportunity to develop leading-edge and in-depth knowledge of specific computer science disciplines.
