Program details
Overview
The Master of Science in Applied Computing is a graduate program in the University of Toronto's Department of Computer Science, structured around applying computing methods to practical problems across industry sectors. Students choose a concentration from seven options: Applied Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Computer Science, Data Science, Data Science for Biology, and Quantum Computing. The program maintains partnerships with organizations such as AMD, Sanofi, Vanguard, and Fields-Mitacs, and its program materials note more than 300 companies among its alumni base and over 450 graduates to date. The degree awarded is a Master of Science. The program is positioned within a computer science department that is highly ranked within Canada, and it draws on that department's research strength across applied computing areas. It suits students with a computing or related quantitative background who want graduate-level training oriented toward applied, industry-relevant computing work rather than a purely theoretical research path, and who are looking to build connections with industry partners during their studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) requires an appropriate completed, or nearly-completed, undergraduate degree relevant to the chosen concentration, with a final-year (two-term) standing of at least B+ (77-79% at U of T). Applicants submit transcripts from undergraduate study onward, a one-to-two-page resume/CV, program-specific essay responses, and contact details for three referees; a GRE score is submitted only if the applicant already holds one. Work experience, including co-op placements or internships, is preferred but not required. English proficiency follows the School of Graduate Studies' minimums: IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with at least 6.5 in each component, or TOEFL iBT 93 overall with at least 22 in Writing and Speaking (the program page defers to SGS rather than stating its own figure).
Application Details
Application Deadline:University of Toronto uses one application deadline for domestic and international applicants alike for Fall 2027 entry: 15 January 2027 for most programmes, including Applied Science & Engineering, Arts & Science (St. George), the iSchool, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Nursing, Physician Assistant, and UTM and UTSC, with supporting documents also due 15 January 2027 (Engineering) or 1 February 2027 (most others). Medical Radiation Sciences has an extended 1 February 2027 deadline. A recommended early-application date of 7 November 2026 applies across the board, and several programmes (Rotman Commerce, Computer Science, Architecture, Kinesiology) require a supplementary component due 1 February 2027. Admission decisions are released from January through late May; UofT does not describe any programme as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
