Master of Applied Computer Science (MApCompSc)

Concordia's Master of Applied Computer Science is a 45-credit course-based degree in Montreal that is full-time with a normal duration of two years; part-time study is available. It strengthens expertise in both theoretical and practical computer science, aimed at students moving towards industry and commercial applications. Concordia states the curriculum offers a wide variety of core and elective courses across the range of computer science and software engineering topics. The programme offers a co-op option consisting of a paid, full-time internship of four or eight months. What the fee covers: the international rate for a course-based (professional, non-research) master's — the 2026-2027 cohort rate of CAD 795.00 per credit for Engineering and Computer Science programmes, fixed for the programme duration. At 45 credits that is CAD 35,775 in total, shown here over the stated 24-month normal full-time duration. Fee year: 2026-27. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.5 in each of the four components; or TOEFL iBT 86 with no part under 20 (Concordia's general graduate minimum). Before you budget: the fee is confirmed on Concordia's rate page — CAD 795.00 per credit, international, course-based, 2026-27 cohort, fixed for the duration — so 45 credits is CAD 35,775 in total, which sits at the very top of a INR 25 lakh tuition budget. The programme page confirms the rest: 45 credits, 'The degree is full-time, with a normal duration of two years', an admission requirement of only an 'Undergraduate degree in computer science or a graduate diploma in computer science' with no work-experience clause (unlike the MEng Software Engineering), and a co-op described as 'a paid, full-time internship of four or eight months'. International deadlines are 1 March for Fall, 1 July for Winter and 1 November for Summer. Three intakes a year, a locked tuition rate, a paid co-op and a realistic entry bar together make this the best-rounded option listed here for a budget-constrained computer science graduate.
