MMath in Computer Science - Co-op Option

In Computer Science, a master's program may be undertaken on a co-operative basis enabling a student to combine graduate studies with some work experience. The program involves an initial study period, a work period and a final study period. It is fairly flexible in length, each period comprising one or more terms. The usual pattern of study and work consists of two academic terms in which the courses are completed, a two-term work placement, and a final academic term in which the thesis or research paper is completed. Students may apply for the Co-op Option during their second or third term in the standard Master's program.

The degree requirements are the same as for the regular MMath degree program in Computer Science. The work placement must be related to the student's research topic and requires the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies and the student's research supervisor.

The student will be required to do a two-term work placement at a suitable industrial location, to begin as soon as possible after the coursework has been completed. The student will also be expected to return to campus after the work placement in order to complete the final thesis or research paper. The student will need to supply a work term report along with a formal oral presentation when they return to campus.

The Consortium for Graduate Education in Software Engineering (ConGESE) provides education specially structured for software professionals in Ontario industries, leading to a Master's degree in Computer Science, with an emphasis in Software Engineering. This unique program is offered jointly by six Ontario universities, with strong industrial support.
Each of the universities offers courses in this program. The courses are commonly offered in locations covenient to cooperating industrial sponsors and are designed for the working professional, who might otherwise find it difficult to attend regular, on-campus graduate programs.
This program provides a blend of academic rigour and industrial relevance. Each course is taught by a faculty member with strong credentials in research, real-world experience and teaching in the subject area.
The application procedures and admission criteria are the same for all applicants to the Master's program. The ConGESE program, however, is a part-time program in which the students are typically sponsored by their company. Applicants to this school must be able to take courses in the Waterloo/Toronto area. Applicants must indicate on the application form that they are interested in the ConGESE program.

Note to International Students

No special application procedures are required for international students. However, students are advised there is considerable competition for the relatively few spaces available for international students. The international students who are accepted usually have obtained high grades (an overall average of A (85%) or better) in an undergraduate/graduate program specializing in Computer Science.
International applicants from non-English speaking countries must submit a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) showing an overall minimum internet-based score of 100, or computer-based score of 250 or paper-based score of 600 This English language proficiency certification is mandatory unless, at the time of application, the applicant has completed a minimum of three calendar years (36 months) of post-secondary education at an institution at which English was the language of instruction or has been employed in a position in an environment where English was the official language of business.
Applicants educated outside of Canada or the USA must also submit GRE General test results. No minimum score is required. The GRE General test is a requirement of the School of Computer Science and can only be waived in exceptional circumstances.

Academic Background Required

Applicants for all degree programs are expected to have a formal background in the following areas of computer science: programming languages, data structures, operating systems, algorithms and computer architecture.

Admission to the MSS program is on a competitve basis: our evaluation process is rigorous and includes ranking applicants on grades, reference letters and technical background. Admission is not guaranteed, even if all the requirements are met.

The number of available spaces in the MSS program varies from year to year and we are sometimes unable to accept qualified applicants due to space limitations.

Because applicants come from a variety of backgrounds, it is impossible to quantitively outline what is required for admission, however applicants must meet these minimum qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in a field other than computer science or computer engineering. Degrees in a scientific or technical field are preferred, but applicants with degrees in other fields may also be considered;
• Acceptable academic standing as outlined by UBC's Faculty of Graduate Studies. For those with degrees from a Canadian university, a four-year Bachelor抯 degree with a minimum overall B+ standing in third and fourth year level courses is required. Grading systems differ widely between countries, so please verify that you meet the academic requirements by referring to the graduate admission requirements website.
• Demonstrated skills in object-oriented design and programming (OOD/OOP), and knowledge of the basic data structures and algorithms commonly used in computer science. Practical programming skills in the language C++. These skills can be acquired either through coursework or work experience.
• Other assets that lead to a strong application include relevant work or volunteer experience, and excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Applications for JANUARY 2011 will be accepted starting February 1, 2010. Our application deadline is June 15, 2010 or until all positions have been filled.
