Prospective Graduate Students

I accept graduate students through various graduate programs in the Department of Computing and Software (MSc in Computer Science, PhD in Computer Science, MASc in Software Engineering, PhD in Software Engineering, and MEng in Computing and Software). You can refer to our department’s website for more information on the difference between these programs. Our applications often open in fall, and close around the end of March for international students, and the end of June for domestic students (refer to our website for this year's deadlines).

You are highly encouraged to reach out via email before submitting the application, with a CV, transcript, and a short description of your research interests as they relate to the main thread of our group's research work. Given the large number of requests I get around the application time, I may not be able to respond to every request I get - so make sure in your email, provide a clear demonstration of a close alignment with our research topics and methods described on the rest of this website (or from our recent research publications).

If you are also considering graduate programs in the United States (as well as Canada) and wondering differences between completing graduate study in these countries, Dr. Arawjo shared some insights into the differences between Canadian and US programs, which will help provide some guidance.

Current Undergraduate Students at Mac
