Program Overview

We live in the digital age. Modern technology has made the world faster and more connected. Most industries rely on data and software programs. As a result, computer science impacts everything, from scientific research to health development, transport, banking, communications, and more.

Our graduate programs in computer science focus on six main research areas:

  • Artificial intelligence and deep learning
  • Data science and data analytics
  • Human-centred computing and computational media
  • Software engineering
  • Systems, communication, and cybersecurity
  • Theoretical computer science

The University of Regina's graduate degrees in Computer Science are accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Council (CSAC). The Department of Computer Science was one of the first four departments in Canada to be accredited in 1982. We are the only computer science department in Canada to have been accredited continuously since then. 


Doctorate (PhD) in Computer Science
The doctoral program consists of at least 9 credit hours of course work and 51 credit hours of research resulting in the defense of a dissertation. The major portion of the program consists of original research under the guidance of a supervisory committee. Two non-credit Computer Science seminar presentations are also required. Successful completion of the doctoral program requires a minimum of three years.
