Master of Science (Computing Science) at University of Alberta

Applicants for the MSc degree in Computing Science should have a four-year undergraduate degree or the equivalent from a recognized university, with adequate background in computing science and mathematics.

There is no direct admission to the MSc with a specialization in Statistical Machine Learning. Applicants wishing to pursue this program should apply to the thesis-based MSc; they may apply to transfer to the SML program after one or two terms of study provided a supervisor is found.

A Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is optional but highly recommended for non-Canadian applicants, as well as Canadian applicants with a degree from a non-Canadian university. The GRE is also recommended for students with backgrounds unrelated to Computing Science. The examinations should be written early enough so that scores will be available by the application deadline.
