Master of Science in Computing [By Research]

The Queen’s School of Computing offers a graduate program that is unique in its quality, diversity, innovation and reach. Research projects span traditional and innovative computer science. For example, one team is designing wireless networks of tiny sensors located deep below the surface of the ocean to study that largely unknown world. Another group is developing techniques to increase the accuracy and reduce the discomfort of medical processes. Some students are discovering properties of certain computers that are radically different from the ones we have today. Others are building organic interfaces for humans to communicate with computers. We are finding methods to make databases more secure, software more reliable and computers more intelligent. Our students have the opportunity to be involved in cross collaborations with Johns Hopkins University. Our NSERC CREATE program in Ultra-Large Scale Software Systems has close ties with many industrial partners and provides students with practical professional and developmental skills, industrially-motivated research, and industry experience. The MSc thesis is typically constrained to a specific and well-defined scientific andor technical problem that can be solved within the limited timeframe of the MSc program, within 2 calendar years. Theses are encouraged to be completed at the end of twelve months of graduate study, but students often choose to do more than the minimal work required for a satisfactory thesis, and consequently may take longer to finish.
