The Master of Applied Science in Software Engineering expands students' knowledge and research capabilities in specific areas of software engineering, combining coursework and research culminating in a thesis. The programme requires 45 credits, comprising 16 credits of coursework and 29 credits of thesis research, and is normally completed in two years of full-time study. The credential awarded is a Master of Applied Science (MASc). It is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in software engineering, computer science, or a related discipline, as well as IT professionals seeking theoretical and practical expertise in the field. Admission requires an undergraduate degree or graduate diploma in software engineering, computer science, or another discipline such as engineering, science, or mathematics with very high standing. The programme is delivered on campus at Concordia University's Sir George Williams campus in Montreal, with intakes offered in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate sufficient English proficiency for graduate study.
