These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Ph.D. candidates are expected to have background in computing science similar to our B.Sc.Honours in Computing Science program. Normally three-year degrees do not meet the university requirements. Deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate undergraduate courses. There is no direct admission into the Ph.D. program from a B.Sc. |
