The Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science at Bishop’s University offers both course‑based and thesis‑based tracks to suit different academic goals and professional ambitions. Students who choose the course‑based track will gain solid practical skills: programming, algorithms, software engineering, data structures, and systems design. Those in the thesis‑based option engage deeply in research, working under a faculty supervisor to explore new topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, or computational theory, preparing them for doctoral studies or roles that require research experience.
Applicants must meet the Graduate Admission requirements, including a relevant undergraduate degree and demonstrated academic merit. For the thesis track, the availability of a faculty member to act as a supervisor is essential. Financial matters, including tuition fees, scholarships, or assistantships, are clearly outlined by the department.

Application procedure
The application procedure for our graduate degrees is the following two-step process:
- Pre-apply by completely filling in the departmental form. Note that the form is different for the two options (course-based and thesis-based). If the form contains all the pertinent information then you will receive from the department a fairly accurate evaluation, which in most cases indicate that your official application will be successful. Pre-applications are free of charge.
- Once you receive a positive evaluation from the department you must go to the Bishop’s online application system and submit an official application (fees apply) in order to be granted official admission by the Admission Office.
Note that the two steps above can also be completed at the same time. However, in this case the application fees will be charged irrespective of the departmental decision.
