This doctoral program in computer science is a 90-credit degree with an estimated full-time duration of four years. It develops research expertise in computer science through the design of new theories, techniques and approaches intended to advance the field, preparing graduates to analyze and design advanced computing solutions and to exploit data in a research setting. Candidates must hold a master's degree in computer science, or an equivalent diploma; applicants holding a diploma in another discipline may also be considered eligible. Before submitting an application, a candidate must contact a faculty member, since the program can only make an admission offer once a professor has agreed to direct the candidate's research. The program admits students for the fall, winter and summer terms and is completed on a full-time basis. Mastery of written and spoken French is essential to the program.
