1000-Level Courses
Welcome to the world of Computer Science. Have you ever wondered how the applications running on your computer are built? In first year Computer Science courses, you will be introduced to fundamental computer programming concepts and information you need to get started on building some simple computer applications. In this page, you will find information about the first year Computer Science courses that are offered in the Department of Computer Science.
Follow the links to find information on first-year computer science courses.
2000-Level Courses
Welcome to the second year of Computer Science. In your first year, you have learned the basic programming concepts, techniques and how to program in Java language. Computer Science is not just about programming. In second year Computer Science courses, you are going to learn theories that are widely used in the Computer Science field. These courses play an important role in preparing you for more advance study in your third and fourth year Computer Science courses. This page has a list of second year Computer Science courses with a brief overview on the goal of the courses.
Note: Courses that are labelled with * are required for Computer Science Major and Honours program.
Please follow the links to find information on second-year computer science courses.
3000-Level Courses
Now things are starting to get interesting. Upon entering your third year of computer science, you are presented with a myriad of topics on which you can focus your studies. Required courses are fewer, and the number of optional courses are greater.
Also of note is your ability to take part in the co-op program and prepare for a four-month work term.
Follow the links to find information on third-year computer science courses. Courses are grouped by the focus path they belong to.

4000-Level Courses
The transition from 3rd and 4th year is much the same as from 2nd to 3rd year. There are more special interest courses as well as more courses that pertain to particular focus areas. Also, if you are considering a specific path of study in your final years as a student of Computer Science, then you will have a very limited choice of professors teaching this area of expertise.
Offerings of fourth year courses change more dramatically from year to year than at the 3000 level. You are therefore strongly recommended to consult with Aurora For an up to date list of what is offered when you wish to enroll.
