Work and collaborate one-on-one with internationally renowned faculty members. We have 19 full-time research faculty, including a Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity. We’re also home to more than 20 laboratories and two research centres.
Contribute new research to the field of computer science in a well-established graduate program.
We offer two master’s programs in computer science: the research-based MCS program and the course-based MCSC program.
Master of Computer Science (MCS)
The Master of Computer Science (MCS) program provides you with an opportunity to explore advanced knowledge in computer science. The balance between courses and research can follow one of two options:
- master’s with thesis, which requires fewer courses and has a more substantial research project
- master’s with report, which includes more courses and a limited research component
A master’s degree can typically be completed within 16-24 months of full-time study. Part-time study is also possible.
A co-op option can be added to the MCS program. The co-op option incorporates eight to 12 months of work terms. This helps students financially and provides valuable job experience at an advanced level.
Master of Computer Science by Coursework (MCSC)
The Master of Computer Science by Coursework (MCSC) program provides advanced education at the graduate level to students who want to pursue their computer science education further but are not interested in research. It enables students to explore computer science topics more deeply and learn current advanced techniques. It is a suitable program for people from the IT industry who want to upgrade their skills, develop and demonstrate their capabilities for working at a more advanced level, explore advanced interests and improve their credentials.
Master’s co-op for MCS, MCSC students
The Master’s co-op option offers students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in conjunction with their academic studies.

Training and education in cybersecurity falls far short of current needs, and what will be required in the future. Worldwide, there are 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions. Such skills shortage leaves the public, private sectors, and governments vulnerable. Moreover, the global cost of cyber-attacks is believed to grow to $10.5 trillion by 2025. With these figures in mind, we need to develop talent in cybersecurity – and fast! The Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) at the University of New Brunswick is using 20+ years of cyber- security innovation and talent development to provide a one-year Master of Applied Cybersecurity (MACSec).

A PhD in computer science is primarily composed of independent original research that makes a significant contribution to knowledge in a field of computer science. The program also includes three advanced courses that complement the research topic. A PhD degree can be completed within three years.
PhD research is supervised by faculty members. A supervisor must be arranged before a student is accepted into the program. An advisory committee monitors the progress of the student throughout the program.
