Program overview
The Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering is a thesis-based program that introduces students to the research methods used in the field of electrical and computer engineering. It builds on specific areas of knowledge gained at the undergraduate level. The Master of Applied Science (MASc) program is intended for students who are interested in pursuing advanced studies and research at the postgraduate level, including the completion of a thesis. Students who want to continue on to a PhD should enroll in the MASc program. Practicing engineers who wish to follow a course-based program should apply to the MEng instead. This degree is primarily for students interested in full-time study.
Admission requirements

Awards and funding
Funding packages are generally available for students in thesis-based programs. They come in the form of awards, teaching and research assistantships are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. Research and thesis-based students are automatically considered for all entrance graduate awards when they apply to Concordia, provided they meet eligibility criteria. No separate application is required.
The Quebec and Canadian governments offer a number of competitive graduate scholarships. We encourage you to apply for these awards at the same time you are preparing your application.
