Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Software Engineering

Memorial's MASc in Software Engineering is a 16-month, four-term course-based programme offered jointly by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science in St. John's. It targets students with computer science or engineering backgrounds and gives a broad understanding of the main areas of software engineering plus specialised depth. Memorial states that practical experience comes through course projects and a substantial team capstone project. Memorial positions graduates for software development, computer systems architecture and distributed services roles. What the fee covers: the international rate. Memorial publishes a programme cost of CAD 9,666 (CAD 2,416.50 per semester over four semesters, Plan D) plus an international special fee of CAD 20,282 (charged at CAD 5,070.50 per semester over semesters 1 to 4), which is CAD 29,948 in total. The figure shown is the 12-month equivalent of that 16-month total. Fee year: Memorial does not label an academic year on this table, so treat it as the current published schedule (the page was last updated 19 August 2026). English requirement as published: Memorial School of Graduate Studies proficiency requirements apply; the programme page states no specific scores. Before you budget: Memorial's finance page confirms CAD 2,416.50 per semester on Plan D over four semesters plus a CAD 20,282 international special fee, giving CAD 29,948 in total for the 16-month degree. The programme page shows only '$2,416.50/semester (plus an additional special fee)' without the amount, so always read the two figures together. The 16-month, four-term structure and the deadlines are confirmed. On work placements: Memorial does not advertise a co-op or internship for this programme. What the page describes is practical experience 'through course projects, and by completing a substantial team capstone project', and it says nothing about co-op either way. So treat this as a degree with no advertised work placement — which matters if you are choosing a programme for Canadian work experience — but do not assume Memorial has ruled one out. Entry: a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a cognate area.
