Our Master of Applied Science (MASc) addresses the needs of industry and society in the IT area, providing students with the skills they will need to succeed in this demanding and ever-evolving field. The master’s degree consists of two programs: Networking Technology (NET) that has two different pathways and Digital Media (DM).
