Master of Science in Computer Science (Project based)

We live in the digital age. Modern technology has made the world faster and more connected. Most industries rely on data and software programs. As a result, computer science impacts everything, from scientific research to health development, transport, banking, communications, and more.Our graduate programs in computer science focus on six main research areas:Artificial intelligence and deep learningData science and data analyticsHuman-centred computing and computational mediaSoftware engineeringSystems, communication, and cybersecurityTheoretical computer scienceThe project-based Master’s route requires 21 credits of coursework, 9 credits of professionally-oriented project research, and the project report, presentation, and defense. Two non-credit Computer Science seminar presentations are also required.

For admission to the Master of Science programs, you must have a four-year bachelor's degree in computer science with an overall average of at least 70 per cent, and a computer science average of at least 75 per cent.A graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 per cent. Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 per cent or more).
