This is a course-based Master of Applied Science in Software Engineering, delivered jointly by Memorial University's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Faculty of Science on the St. John's campus, with admission in the fall term only. The program has no thesis component, structuring study instead around core courses covering software foundations, design, and verification and validation, culminating in capstone work, alongside electives drawn from areas such as security, embedded systems, data networks, cryptography, and database technology. It is described as placing greater emphasis on software engineering topics than typical computer science or computer engineering programs, with less focus on hardware and digital design. Applicants are expected to hold a four-year undergraduate degree, or its equivalent, in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field. The program suits graduates who want advanced, practice-oriented training in software methods rather than a research thesis, and is aimed at preparing students for roles in software development, systems architecture and design, and distributed services within technology-focused organizations.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in computer science, computer engineering, or a cognate area, from a university of recognized standing. Intake: Fall, each year.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall, each year
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
