The UBC Department of Computer Science has a strong research presence both nationally and internationally, tied for #1 in Canada and 25th worldwide. This program is distinguished by its focus on interdisciplinary research, where the faculties collaborate with professors in other disciplines, reflecting the increasing role that computer science plays in the world. Within their respective areas, the university professors are highly respected internationally. Their educational leadership and leading-edge research translates into the most current information available, which is then directly taught in the classroom.


In addition to studying fundamental computing science topics, the students can choose from a variety of elective courses, including: artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer graphics, databases, programming languages, computer networking, and virtual reality. The university encourages its students to engage in undergraduate research with their computing science professors. These research projects often result in students presenting their work at international conferences. Past students have coauthored papers with their professors and published their findings in peer-reviewed journals, providing them with valuable experience and identifiable skills. Through our program, our students gain expertise in their area, as well as character development, as they learn to navigate between technology and society from a distinctly Christian worldview.

Hello. I am Grace Idachaba from Nigeria. I have completed my bachelors of science in Nursing (4 year course) in Norther Cyprus. I graduated in July of 2023. I have no other experience apart from the internship placements we had during our time in school. This is due to the language barrier we face here (Turkish). Am I still elidgible to apply for the MSc in Nursing program at UBC?
