Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

Toronto Metropolitan's Department of Computer Science offers graduate studies at the Master's and PhD levels. Both programs follow the University's approach in blending theory with practice. Students build advanced knowledge and have ample opportunity to apply their skills.  

MSc Program

Our Master's degree promotes high achievement in both theoretical and practical aspects of Computer Science. Students can choose from three options:

  • Thesis-based
  • Major research paper-based 
  • Course-based

All three options equip students to meet the ongoing demand for qualified professionals with advanced Computer Science education. Each option has its own program degree requirements.

PhD Program

Our PhD program provides students advanced Computer Science education and allows them to develop a research program.  While the program allows students to explore all areas of Computer Science, it has particular focus on two fields:   

  • Intelligence and Robotics
  • Computer Communication Networks

Students are required to complete courses from each field.
