Master of Science in Applied Computing - Computer Science

The University of Toronto’s Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) Program is committed to educating the next generation of world-class innovators. With concentrations in Artificial Intelligence, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, and Quantum Computing, our program will provide students with a truly unparalleled academic experience. Not only will students learn from world-class faculty about the latest developments in cutting edge technologies, they also have the opportunity to apply that knowledge through a practical applied-research internship at one of our partner companies. The Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) degree program provides a truly unparalleled academic experience.As a discipline, computer science involves the process of solving real world problems using technical solutions, such as design, development and analysis of algorithms, software, hardware, automation, and more. The field of Computer Science is embedded across multiple industries on a global scale and its importance continues to prevail in the world today. Graduates of the Computer Science concentration will harness their understanding of fundamental concepts in computer science to act as thought leaders, serving as a conduit to transfer ideas between those most interested in what is new and those most interested in what is useful. The University of Toronto’s Department of Computer Science is universally recognized as one of the strongest in the world. Its primary aim is to prepare students to conduct ground-breaking practical applied research on various fields within computer science. The computer science concentration offers students an advanced understanding of computer science methods, vigorous research training and the opportunity to test your knowledge in the real world through our applied research internship.
