Overview

Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Electrical and Computer Engineering Program is for students interested in pursuing advanced studies and research in: 

Biomedical Technologies, Communications Systems, Computer and Software Systems, Energy Systems, or Micro and Nano Technologies. 

The expected MASc time frame is roughly 24 months

MASc degree candidates registered as full-time students are required to spend at least one winter session at the University. 

MASc candidates may also register as part-time students. 

In either case, the program must be completed within five years of initial registration. 

To complete the degree, an examining committee of three, including the supervisor, a co-reader, and the committee chair, conduct a public examination after copies of the student’s thesis have been made publicly available.

In this program, students can contribute to research on technologies very close to or already in the market or in the early stages of research, such as quantum computing or carbon nanotubes.

Electrical and Computer Engineering is one of the largest graduate programs at The University of British Columbia, with over 75 faculty members and 400 students. 

All of the faculty members lead distinguished research programs.
