===Department profile===
The [[Department of Computer Science]] is one of nine departments in the [[University of the Philippines]] [[UP_College_of_Engineering|College of Engineering]]. It is located in the [[UP Diliman]] Campus, which is the flagship campus of the University of the Philippines System

The Department of Computer Science administers the four-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Program and the Master of Science in Computer Science program. The department currently has around 550 undergraduate and 100 graduate students.

The BSCS program is designed to equip the student with knowledge of the fundamental concepts and a reasonable mastery of the basic tools and techniques in computer science. The undergraduate program incorporates the core material, which is universally accepted as common to Computer Science undergraduate programs (computer programming, computer organization, computer systems, data structures and algorithms, file processing, and programming languages). Underpinning the software orientation of the program are the subjects on database systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer networks and special problems (primarily, software projects).

The Master of Science in Computer Science program is administered also by the CS Department. The program aims to provide the student with both breadth and depth of knowledge in the concepts and techniques related to the design, programming, and application of computing systems.

===Research interests===
* Biomedical computing
* Computer security
* Computer vision and machine intelligence
* Software engineering (information systems, database systems and Internet technologies)
* Computer networks
* Theoretical computer science

==The UP CS Network (UP Alliance of Computer Science Organizations)==

The UP CS Network is the first student organization alliance of its kind in the UP Diliman College of Engineering. The Network is composed of two socio-academic organizations (UP CURSOR and UP CompSoc), two academic organizations (UP ACM and [[UnPLUG]]), two department service arms (UP Parser and DCS SA), one college service arm (UP Engineering Webteam), and one university service arm (CRS).

The first full active school year of existence of the CS Network (AY 2005-06) culminated in the Department of Computer Science being adjudged the College's Best Department for the year by the Engineering Student Council (see [http://ccrux.corsarius.net/2006/04/15/cs-the-best-department-for-ay-05-06/ related external link]).
