The Department of Computer Science


Solid Computer Science Education
We offer a solid and complete Computer Science education (Honours, Major, Minor). In addition, we offer interdisciplinary programmes (BAIT and Bioinformatics), a concentration in Imaging and Digital Media (with co-op stages), and a number of certificates. Our BBSc is a programme for those wishing to combine a rigorous science-based BSc with a business degree from the Williams School of Business or the Department of Economics.

Research
We are active in a number of research areas, including theoretical computer science, formal software engineering, and image processing. Our MSc programme is very research intensive. We offer good opportunities for undergraduate students to be involved in cutting-edge research under USRA scholarships or similar. Several faculty are collaborating with fellow faculty from Université de Sherbrooke.

For our students
Together with Bishop's University we operate computer labs under different platforms (so one can pick and choose and also become familiar with them all). We offer support and encourage students to perform system administrator work on real machines. Our students have opportunities to work part-time with the ITS department during their studies. Many students receive financial suport to attend conferences.

For our Francophones students — Pour nos étudiants francophones, cliquez ici pour plus de details
A growing number of francophone students come to study Computer Science at Bishop's. Computer Science is a language that everyone understands and speaks! We all speak Java and C++ and do the same Math. Many of our faculty are bilingual, and by the end of their degree, all Francophone students are bilingual as well!

For our International prospective students
Over the years, we have had a large number of international students with limited command of the English language, who have been very successful in their studies, and have graduated with the highest awards and prizes on campus. Those who need help with their English can register in many ESL (English as a Second Language) courses while they take their Computer Science courses.
