Application information

Entry requirements

Admission with master's degree: the normal requirement for admission into the Ph.D. program is a master's degree in one of the three related disciplines: Technology, Content, and People. Applicants judged to be generally acceptable but lacking adequate preparation in certain areas may be required to complete extra coursework in addition to the program requirements. Admission with bachelor's degree: exceptional applicants with a bachelor's degree in a related discipline (e.g. Information Technology, Computer Engineering, Computer Science) with an overall average of A- or higher may be considered for direct admission into the Ph.D. program. These applicants must demonstrate strong potential for independent research, evidenced by achievements such as publications in reputable conferences.

Graduate programmes normally admit to the fall (September) term; some programmes also consider applicants for the winter (January) or summer (May) terms.

Apply online through Carleton360. Applications for most programmes for the upcoming Fall, Winter and Summer terms open on 1 June. Most programmes have two deadlines per term: the first for guaranteed consideration of admission and funding, the second if space and funds remain. Application fee: C$125, non-refundable, paid by credit card and not waived.
