Applicants for the M.Sc in Computing Science must have a four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent. Undergraduate programs completed should be similar to our B.Sc. Specialization in Computing Science program. Normally three-year degrees do not meet the university requirements. If an applicant is admitted to our graduate program, they may have to take some of our undergraduate courses to complete background requirements. Successful applicants will be advised about their background requirements prior to registration.

Applicants for the Ph.D. in Computing Science must have an M.Sc. degree in Computing Science or a related field. Deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate undergraduate courses.

Further information on minimum background admission requirements for both the M.Sc and Ph.D programs can be found in Programs & Admissions . Information for Students from Other Disciplines can be found in the M.Sc. Programs page.
