A four-year undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, Science or a related area with at least a “B” average is required for admission to the Program.
Undergraduate courses in probability, linear algebra, differential equations and computer programming are prerequisites for the core courses of the Program. Details regarding the level and content of prerequisite courses are included in the information package which is sent to all applicants. If a student lacks any of these courses, he will normally be required to complete them as a condition of admission. Entering students who lack the required undergraduate preparation may be permitted to enter a qualifying program.
Admission is offered either on a full-or part-time basis. Students admitted full-time to the master’s are required to register full-time for three sessions. Specific admission requirements are listed at the beginning of the description of each stream.
Students should specify on the application form whether they are applying for the graduate certificate, the MSc in systems science or the master’s in systems science.
Students are normally admitted initially to the graduate certificate and are admitted to the master’s only upon successful completion of the core courses and a positive recommendation from the program committee.
No equivalencies or advanced standing are granted. A student who has already successfully completed some of the compulsory credits, may be allowed to replace those credits with elective credits. For details, see the general regulations of the FGPS, section B 2.7 c).
Applicants to the MSc in systems science must submit a research outline not to exceed 350 words and clearly select the program with thesis on their application form.
Applicants to the master’s in systems science are invited to include with their application a letter of intent stating their motivation for studying systems science and outlining their preferences for key areas of study in the program. They must clearly select the program without thesis on their application form.

The Ottawa-Carleton Institute combines the research strength of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. The Institute offers graduate programs leading to the master’s (MSc) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in several fields (biology, chemistry, earth science, etc.).
Bioinformatics is an emerging and increasingly important scientific discipline dedicated to the pursuit of fundamental questions about the structure, function and evolution of biological entities through the design and application of computational approaches. Fundamental research in these areas is expected to increase our understanding of human health and disease which translates into innovation in industry (i.e. drug discovery). Bioinformaticians today must be able
