Computer Science

“At the University of Toronto, I was part of the first undergraduate class to have the Computer Science designation on our B.Sc. degrees. The Department was, by then, already a dynamic place of intellectual stimulation and challenge. DCS shaped my career, and gave me the opportunity to meet friends who are still important in my life.”

“At DCS, there are faculty and students gathered from all around the world. Students are given the flexibility – and are, in fact, encouraged- to diversify their interests and sample from the amazing breadth of options that the university offers.”

“During my years as a student at the Department of Computer Science, I developed a strong knowledge in the theoretical aspects of computing technology. This, together with the other academic areas I minored in at the UofT, has enabled me to take a disciplined approach to managing computing environments and deploying new technologies... my academic background is particularly important now, as the complexity of managing information technology continues to grow to deliver business capabilities.”
