Cloud Computing, Honours Bachelor of Computer Science (Degree Completion)

Learn computer science skills that matter in today's workplace.Program OverviewSpecialize in a growing field of computer scienceStand out from the crowd by specializing in cloud computing, data analytics, data engineering, game engineering or artificial intelligence. You'll be introduced to each of these growing fields of computer science in your first year of studies, then take eight courses in the area of your choice. Each field requires specific skills not taught in traditional diploma and degree programs.Build a strong foundation in computer scienceNot a computer expert? No problem! You'll begin with the basics in your first year, learning about computer programming, networks, mathematics, scripting and database modelling. More than 80% of our Computer Science degree curriculum consists of core courses designed to develop fundamental skills that will prepare you to work in all areas of computer science, both now and in the future.Internship, co-op and applied research opportunitiesAt Sheridan, we believe the best way to learn is through hands-on experience. Between your third and fourth year of studies, you can work for our industry partners through a four-month internship or a paid co-op placement that can last up to 16 months. You can also sharpen your research skills by providing computer science support to any of Sheridan's various applied research projects.Choose between a capstone or thesisYour education should support your future goals. In your fourth year, you'll have the option of working on either a capstone project or thesis. Capstones involve developing a solution to a significant problem and may include an external client or partner — ideal if you're seeking employment immediately after graduation. The thesis research project option is also offered in case you intend to pursue graduate studies in computer science.Related program: Computer Science degree specializing in Mobile ComputingIt's always good to keep your options open. This program shares many core courses with our Honours Bachelor of Computer Science (Mobile Computing) degree, making it easy to transfer from one to the other. If you want to change specializations after two years, you'll only need to make up two courses. Opportunities for further education If you're interested in furthering your studies after graduation, our honours bachelor's degree is accepted for graduate admission at a broad range of institutions in Canada and internationally.Apply to your specialization of choiceWhen applying to this program, you'll identify your specialization of choice using one of the following codes: PBCPCC: Specialization in cloud computing PBCPDA: Specialization in data analytics PBCPDE: Specialization in data engineering PBCPGE: Specialization in game engineering PBCPAI: Specialization in artificial intelligence Learn more about our computer science specializations.PBCPS
