Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours)

A four year honours degree in computer science including twelve months of co-op, covering algorithms, software engineering, systems, data structures and a capstone project.

Twelve months of co-op inside a four year degree is an unusually generous work component, and it is paid Canadian experience rather than an unpaid placement. That distinction is worth understanding before you choose.

Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) is taught at Conestoga College, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the computer science honours degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that has applied to college level credentials since November 2024. That exemption is the single most valuable feature of the computer science honours degree, and it supports a post-graduation work permit of up to three years. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the computer science honours degree can support a study permit application.
