Program Overview for Computer Science (BSc) in Canada:
Computer Science is a rapidly-growing field, generating a great number of employment opportunities. Government agencies are predicting shortages of qualified computing people that will number in the tens of thousands in Canada alone.
The Bachelor of Science, Major in Computer Science, is designed to meet the training and educational requirements outlined by CIPS (Canadian Information Processing Society), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). These requirements reflect the needs of the computing industry, both nationally and internationally.
The program is composed of courses drawn from the systems, theoretical and business application domains. It is designed to train students in applied computer science and educate them in the social, ethical and legal implications of computer science.
These are the international student eligibility for the Computer Science (BSc) in Canada
- Graduation from high school or equivalent.
- Proof of English language proficiency
- International students who are BC high school graduates must have a minimum grade of “C” in English 12 for direct entry into an academic program.
- Official transcript of grades from high school (and post-secondary institutions where applicable).
- A minimum "C+" grade in one of Principles of Mathematics 11, Applications of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, Pre-calculus 11, or equivalent. A mathematics assessment and placement examination is available for applicants without this admission requirement.
N.B: Most universities have specific international admission requirements based on different education systems.
These are the domestic student eligibility for the Computer Science (BSc)
Canadian citizens and those with permanent residence status in Canada are eligible for admission to University Academic programs if they meet one of the following conditions:
- graduation from a B.C. secondary school, or equivalent, with a minimum “C” grade in either English 12 or English 12 First Peoples;
- visiting student from a college or university (a “Letter of Permission” from the home institution is required);
- a transfer student from a college or university (at least 24 transferable university-level credits completed);
- English 12 with a minimum "C+" grade or equivalent.
- A minimum "C+" grade in one of Principles of Mathematics 11, Applications of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, Pre-calculus 11, or equivalent. A mathematics assessment and placement examination is available for applicants without this admission requirement.
These are the test eligibilities for the Computer Science (BSc) to qualify.
The English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements for Computer Science (BSc) in Canada: are:
- TOEFL(ibt): 88
- IELTS(academic): 6.5
