Admission Requirements:
- Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Computer Science
Placements to all regular undergraduate programs are processed through the Ministry of Education (MOE). The universities then conduct admission and enrollment to the program based on results of the Ethiopian Higher Education Entrance Certificate Examination (EHEECE). For second year and above, and other applicants holding diploma (regular advanced), evening, distance (if any) and summer programs, admission will be provided if an applicant meets the minimum requirements set by each universities.
- Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Computer Science
An applicant must:
- have a University degree from a recognized institution in Computer Science or related fields, and
- meet the University admission requirements for graduate programs, and
- Pass an entrance exam and/or other criteria set by the Department.
Selection of Specialization
- As described above, in this program, there are four specializations and students, after completing the common modules in the first semester, will choose and join one of the specializations as per the direction given by the DGC. The number of students that will join each specialization depends on three factors: availability of staffs, first semester CGPA, and the interest of the st
Current number of students
