Welcome to the Department of Computer Science

Faculty of Information Technology

The Department of Computer Science was established under the name Information Technology during the first semester of the 2000/2001 academic year. At that time, the department was affiliated with the Faculty of Science and offered a single specialization in Computer Science. Its establishment came in response to the rapid development of Information Technology worldwide and in line with the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein and his continued interest in advancing this vital field.

The department is supported by a distinguished group of faculty members with extensive academic and professional experience in Computer Science, many of whom have graduated from and worked at prestigious universities.

Throughout their studies, students acquire knowledge and practical skills in a wide range of Computer Science fields, including programming languages, systems analysis and design, databases, computer networks, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. This comprehensive academic preparation enables graduates to pursue careers across a wide range of sectors in the labor market.

In addition to its specialized academic programs, the department contributes to the University's general education requirements by teaching programming using BASIC and introductory computer courses to students from various academic programs across the University.

The Department of Computer Science has eight computer laboratories that serve students in their theoretical and practical courses. All laboratories are connected to the Internet, providing students with access to the computing resources and information required to support their learning and practical activities.

The department also adopts an E-Learning System designed to enhance the educational process through the integration of technology into teaching and learning. The system includes:

• Computerized Classrooms

• Online Classrooms

Through its academic programs, practical training, and technology-enhanced learning environment, the department seeks to contribute to national development by preparing highly qualified Computer Science graduates with well-rounded personalities and strong professional competencies.

The department aims to equip its graduates with the knowledge, skills, and capabilities required to keep pace with technological developments, respond to the changing needs of the labor market, and contribute effectively to the digital transformation and development of society. This commitment is reflected in the quality of the department's graduates and the innovative projects developed by its students.
