Admission

Program intake:
Winter (January) 2027 applications are open.

Application Deadlines
Domestic Students: August 01, 2026
International Students: January 15, 2026 Applications received after January 15 may be considered, but no extensions for paperwork like study permits, will be granted.

Seats are limited, so applicants are encouraged to apply early. We process applications on an ongoing basis and will stop accepting applications when all seats are filled.

The MScDS program has ONLY one intake (i.e., Fall Semester in September) each year and our program doesn't offer "defer" option for admission.

You must choose one of two options for graduation when you apply into this program:

• The Project Option is for students who want to have a non-academic career and to seek employment in industrial/applied-oriented.
• The Thesis Option* is for students who want to pursue research and further graduate studies in data science, computer science or related areas.

* Students intended to choose the Thesis Option must have a confirmed faculty supervisor for their master’s thesis when submitting an application.
