A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or an accepted related computing field. The graduate admissions page sets a minimum overall average of 75%. International applicants are strongly encouraged to provide GRE scores. Select the course route when applying; thesis admission follows a different process. The graduate baseline is IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, or PTE Academic with at least 58 in each of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Duolingo 115 is another listed option. Qualifying English-medium education can meet the policy; applicants educated outside Canada or the USA should provide the requested medium-of-instruction confirmation.

For 2026/27, full-time international MSc Computer Science non-thesis tuition is CAD 2,600 per semester across six fee-paying semesters: CAD 15,600 total programme tuition. Completing the teaching in four semesters does not remove the remaining programme-fee obligation. Ancillary charges, health insurance and living expenses are additional. The international application fee is CAD 120. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

Its taught sequence normally takes 16 months; an optional work term is selective and can add a semester. A semester start date is not an application closing date.
