MA/MS in Computational Science and Engineering (MASc)

Computational Science and Engineering at McMaster University is a multi-disciplinary field connecting engineering, science, business, mathematics, and computer science to develop tools for real-world discovery and understanding. Advances in computing power and computational methodology allow researchers to use computational simulation, modelling, and optimization to pursue investigations beyond the reach of theoretical analysis and physical experimentation alone. Research areas include computational physical sciences, computational optimization, design and control, and computational biosciences. The Master of Applied Science (MASc) is a thesis-based program, completed on a full-time basis over a nominal length of two years, with typical entry in September, January, or May. Applicants are required to hold an Honours Bachelor's degree (BEng, BSc, or equivalent). Students undertake original research culminating in a thesis, developing advanced expertise in computational methods applicable across engineering and scientific disciplines. The credential awarded is a Master of Applied Science in Computational Science and Engineering.
