Description:

UNB's Master's program in computer science (MCS) provides students with an opportunity to explore advanced knowledge in computer science. The balance between courses and research can follow one of two options: Master's by Thesis, which requires fewer courses and has a more substantial research project, and Master's by Report, which includes more courses and a limited research component. A Master's degree can typically be completed within 20 months of full-time study. Part-time study is also possible. A new co-op option can be added to the MCS by thesis or report. The co-op option incorporates 8-12 months of work terms. This helps students financially and also provides valuable job experience at an advanced level.
