Description:

A PhD in computer science is primarily composed of independent original research that makes a significant contribution to knowledge in a field of computer science. The program also includes three advanced courses that complement the research topic. A PhD degree can be completed within three years. PhD research is supervised by faculty members. A supervisor must be arranged before a student is accepted into the program. An advisory committee monitors the progress of the student throughout the program.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    A research-based Master's degree in Computer Science or related area with first class standing from a recognized University is required. Students must have a supervisor at UNB before being accepted into the PhD program. In exceptional circumstances students enrolled in a Master's program in Computer Science may transfer into the PhD program. Students with a course-based Master's degree will need to demonstrate their research potential before being accepted into the PhD program.
