What it isYou study computer science and mathematics together, learning to solve problems by combining coding skills with advanced mathematical theory. Unlike a regular computer science program, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your degree, giving you real professional experience alongside your studies. This suits students who want technical depth, enjoy both abstract math and practical programming, and prefer to earn money and build their resume while studying.Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces.
