Program overview
A four year computing degree covering programming and software engineering, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, networks, security and the mathematics that underpins computer science.
This is the strongest technical option in the catalogue for anyone planning to work in Canada afterwards. It is a degree, so no field of study check applies, and it accepts direct Grade 12 entry rather than requiring a diploma first. The computing diploma also ladders into it for students who prefer to start shorter.
Bachelor of Computing Science is a degree, and degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study requirement, so no CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Computing Science. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Computing Science with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Computing Science in writing before you pay a deposit.
Admission to Bachelor of Computing Science requires Grade 12 / High School at 60 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6, and tuition for Bachelor of Computing Science is recorded at CAD 16,300 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 4 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Computing Science application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
