Master in Computer Science at Carleton University

A large number of high technology companies (e.g., Alcatel, IBM, Mitel, Thales, Cognos/IBM), research labs (e.g., National Research Council, Communication Research Centre) and Government of Canada departments are located in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. The technology cluster provides students with an opportunity to conduct joint research with the private and public sector. Graduating students have a large range of employment opportunities from research to development in areas such as designing new software security products, creation of computer games, designing animation software, building robot, medical imaging and devices and data mining and business intelligence.

Brock’s master’s program in Computer Science is a research-based MSc that consists of one year of coursework. This is followed by preparing a thesis or project to obtain advanced knowledge in computer science and experience in scientific research. Research may be conducted in the broad areas of computational logic and algebra, data mining, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, algorithms, parallelism and combinatorics.
