The deadline for completed applications is available on the Future Students website: https://grad.ucalgary.ca/future-students/explore-programs/quantum-computing-diploma.

Admission to all programs in Quantum Computing is competitive and meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any program.

In addition to Faculty of Graduate Studies admission requirements, admission into each of the credentials requires:

• A four-year Bachelor’s degree in science or engineering or equivalent from a recognized institution.

• A minimum admission grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent calculated on the last 60 units completed.

• Successful completion of:

  • 3-unit undergraduate course in linear algebra (MATH 211 or equivalent)

  • 3-unit undergraduate course in computer programming (CPSC 231 or CPSC 217 or equivalent, or demonstrated equivalent professional experience in computer programming)

• Resume or CV.

Note: In exceptional circumstances, individuals who do not meet formal academic requirements but who have significant life achievement and/or work experience may be considered for admission to the programs in Quantum Computing (see G.A.1 Qualifications). The applicant must provide the Quantum Computing Program Director with evidence demonstrating the potential to successfully undertake these programs. An in-person interview may also be required with the Program Director.
