Master of Data Science (MDSc)

Memorial's Master of Data Science is a one-year programme in St. John's consisting of ten courses plus a case study series and a capstone project. Memorial states the programme equips students with the foundations of data science and practical techniques to translate data into knowledge, covering predictive modelling, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data visualisation. Admitted students must complete three online non-credit propaedeutic courses before the first semester begins. Entry requires prior coursework in multivariate calculus, statistical inference and computer programming. What the fee covers: the international full-time one-year rate. Memorial publishes a Plan C programme cost of CAD 6,654 (CAD 2,218 per semester over three semesters) plus an international special fee of CAD 20,282 (charged at CAD 6,760.66 per semester over semesters 1 to 3), which is CAD 26,936 in total for the 12-month programme. 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). Before you budget: the special fee is three quarters of the real cost. Memorial's finance page confirms the Plan C rate of CAD 2,218 per semester over three semesters and the CAD 20,282 international special fee charged at CAD 6,760.66 per semester across those three semesters. The programme page states international tuition as '$1,074-$2,218/semester (plus an additional special fee)' — CAD 2,218 is the full-time end of that range and CAD 1,074 is the part-time Plan B rate — so quoting the tuition line alone would understate the fee by a factor of four. The same page independently confirms the one-year length, the ten courses plus case study series and capstone, the 15 January deadline and the three non-credit propaedeutic courses. The total is CAD 26,936 for a full one-year data science master's — comfortably inside a INR 25 lakh budget, and one of the strongest one-year options listed here. Entry: a bachelor's degree at minimum second class, with college-level coursework in multivariate calculus, statistical inference and computer programming (R, Python, C, C++, Java or similar).
