Master of Applied Computer Science (Project)

Students in the research project stream have the opportunity to work in research labs in one of our four main research areas at the forefront of technical innovation. Work hand in hand with other masters PhD and post-doctoral students and faculty members to complete a project that will provide a useful demonstration of a novel capability using existing technology. Projects may also survey an area that has high tutorial value.This project stream is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in computer science. Up to three additional undergraduate courses to be taken in the first two terms in the program may be required to fill particular gaps in the students background. This stream includes coursework consisting of 3 required courses 5 additional elective courses and a research project. The student undertakes a research project under the direction of a faculty supervisor. The goal is to gain technical experience in the context of an established research program. The project would start during the third term of the program.

To be considered for a graduate program within the Faculty of Computer Science all applicants must have the equivalent of a four-year undergraduate university degree a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 and meet the following program-specific admission requirements.Applicants are expected to have a knowledge base equivalent to our second-year core computer science undergraduate curriculum. If applying from a non-CS background qualifying year courses may be necessary.Applicants who have been away from academia for a few years should demonstrate industry experience that has maintained or improved their technical skills.Please note MACS applicants are required to complete an admissions interviewIf you are invited to an admissions interview and do not respond to a scheduling request within 1 month your application can be closed.
