Computer Science (MSc) at University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada is a master's degree in Computer Sciences programme. The programme runs for 16 months. Tuition for international students is CAD 34,900 per year (CAD 9,608 per year for local students).
This is the Master of Science program in Computer Science offered through the University of Toronto's School of Graduate Studies and Department of Computer Science. It combines coursework with faculty-supervised research, and applicants are matched with a supervisor by the graduate unit before admission rather than arranging supervision independently. The department's research spans programming languages and methodology, software engineering, operating systems, compilers, distributed computation, networks, numerical analysis and scientific computing, algorithm design and computational complexity, cryptography, artificial intelligence and neural networks, computational linguistics, computer vision, robotics, database systems, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction, among other areas. Admission to the MSc requires a B+ average in the final year of the undergraduate degree, and no standardized admission tests are required or recommended. Students who meet a higher academic standard, an A-minus average in relevant coursework, may be considered for direct entry from the bachelor's degree into the PhD program rather than completing the MSc first. The program suits students seeking graduate-level training in computing that spans theoretical foundations and applied, systems-oriented, or human-centred research areas under individual faculty supervision.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the MSc in Computer Science requires a completed bachelor's degree, with applicants normally presenting at least a B+ average in their final year of study; direct entry to the PhD from a bachelor's degree requires a minimum A-minus average in courses in the discipline. The department's own admission page lists standardized English-proficiency tests as not applicable, so none is required or recommended. Before admission, an applicant must have a faculty supervisor identified, assigned by the graduate unit rather than secured independently. The application deadline for Fall entry is December 1, applying equally to domestic and international applicants.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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.
