Program Information<\/h2>\n

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science degree is a joint program offered by the School of Computer Science (SCS) at Carleton University and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Ottawa under the auspices of the\u00a0Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Computer Science<\/a>\u00a0(OCICS) and the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n

The PhD program provides graduate students with an opportunity to conduct in-depth research in their area of specialization and become technical experts in the domain. PhD students can augment their expertise by combining coursework with their research in a wide range of areas, e.g., algorithms, computer security, distributed and parallel computing, computer gaming, computer graphics, robotics and GIS.<\/p>\n
