Dual Degree Programme (DDP)
A landmark of agreement between COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) and Lancaster University, UK has allowed Pakistani students to earn an international degree from a high ranking UK University in addition to their own degree from CIIT. The most obvious advantage of the Dual Degree Programme (C-L DDP) would be the benefit of an international degree at an affordable cost without leaving the comfort of home.

Dual Degree Programme (C-L DDP) carriers a lot of significance, it is a kind of Programme launched in Pakistan for the very first time and by the two top-ranked institutions: COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, ranked among the top 06 institutions of higher education in Pakistan and Lancaster University, which is ranked among the top 10 universities in the UK and top 200 universities in the world.
BS Electrical (Computer) Engineering (COMSATS) / B Eng (Hons) Computer Systems Engineering (Lancaster University, U K)
Computer Engineering is one of the most versatile Engineering Discipline today. It can broadly be described as blend of electronics engineering and computer science. There is a lot of interest in the areas of industrial automation and embedded systems that is proving to be an emerging field in Pakistan today. The B. Eng (Hons) degree in Computer Systems Engineering is accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), UK, whereas, BS degree in Electrical (Computer) Engineering is one of the accredited Programmes of CIIT by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
Facilities of the Programme:
The department houses all the facilities to cater to the needs for the Telecommunication Engineering Programme. The department has the following laboratories for the undergraduate Programme:
  • RF/Microwave, Antenna & Radar Lab
  • Microprocessor / VLSI Lab
  • Communications Lab
  • Computing Labs
  • Networking Lab
  • Electronics Lab
  • Machine Lab
  • Project Lab
Salient Features of the Programme:
  • Lancaster University, UK validates, evaluates and monitors the educational Programmes at CIIT to make them compatible with their standards.
