Introduction

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the State University of Bangladesh. As an integral part of the School of Science and Technology, the department is dedicated to excellence in education, research, and innovation in the field of computing. To cope up with current data related generation we are offering M.Sc. in Data Science and Machine Learning program. The department has an assemblage of spacious laboratories for various purposes such as Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Big Data Processing, Intelligent Computing, Natural Language Processing, Cloud Computing, Multimedia, Computing and Communications etc. These laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Students have to complete both core and elective courses. Elective courses provide foundation support for the student's specialization area. Courses are conducted utilizing advanced technology with an emphasis on hands-on training. Working with excellent experienced and impressive academicians, a student-to-lecturer ratio of 25:1, and a computer ratio of 1:1, the students are assured of high-quality education, suited for the evolving era. The program of M.Sc. in Data Science and Machine Learning is implemented, making full use of these outstanding capacities and resources.

ADMISSION PROCESS

The university operates a round the year admission system divided into semesters i.e. Spring (January-June) and Fall (July-December).
