Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Founded in 1964, DCS is the oldest computer science department in Canada, and one of the top-ranked departments internationally. We are home to more than 60 faculty members, 300 graduate students, and 800 undergraduates. Our faculty and students engage in a broad range of research and teaching activities, spanning the entire spectrum of computer science... and beyond. The extent and strength of research at UofT allows us to engage in interdisciplinary research in areas as diverse as medicine and life sciences (including genomics, proteomics, and drug design), neuroscience, linguistics, psychology, economics, and many others.

Situated in the heart of Toronto, home of the third-largest information and communication technology center in North America, much of our research is strongly tied to industry R&D as well. Of course, living in such a vibrant, cosmopolitan city has certain other advantages as well!

Please come explore our web pages, find out more about our cutting-edge research, our world-renowned faculty and graduate students, our comprehensive undergraduate programs, and the terrific professional and research opportunities we make available for undergraduates. Whether you're a prospective student, a potential industrial partner, a future research collaborator, an alumnus or friend of the department, or just someone curious about computer science as a discipline, we're sure you'll find something of interest on our web site.
