LASSONDE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING // YORK UNIVERSITY

Learning about Computer Science is arguably one of the most important routes to understanding and participating in the world of the future.

Our Computer Science program will equip you with both foundational knowledge and applied skills, using a blend of hardware and software courses including extensive lab work. You will learn the methodologies that lead to efficient and accurate software development, and you can choose from a wide range of application areas, including machine learning, robotics, graphics, user interface design and data mining.

We also offer flexible co-op options. Lassonde has teamed up with a variety of companies to help you gain valuable professional experience. Recent work placements have been at Bell Canada, RBC, IBM, Ministry of Heatlh, and Communications Security Establishment.

The BSc, BA, iBSc, iBA and International Dual Degree all allow you to explore learning beyond computer science. In the BA, you can complement your studies with courses from the Liberal Arts such as humanities, social sciences, history, philosophy and more – fields that help you understand human social and creative endeavours. In the BSc, complementary courses will be in the sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics). You can also formalize such studies through a degree minor or double major.

Our International degrees give you the opportunity to learn computer science from a global perspective. Pick up a new lanaguge and student abroad as part of the iBA or iBSc degree. In the Dual Degree, you’ll spend a year studying in Germany and Greece.

Changing the world for the better, perhaps through artificial intelligence, data science, and other new fields of the future, requires more than a purely technical point of view. An awareness of impacts on the world and on our lives is a fundamental outcome of our programs.
