The Graduate Diploma in Mobile Device Applications is offered by the School of Information Technology and Engineering in conjunction with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (FGPS). It can be pursued either full-time or part-time. The program is offered mostly in English with courses in French when enrolments warrant it. According to University of Ottawa Regulations, students have the right to produce assignments, examinations, research papers and theses in either English or French.

The professors included in the list below are members of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. This means that they are authorized to supervise or co-supervise theses.

The minimum admission requirement is an honours four-year Bachelor’s degree in one of the following: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, and Computer Science (Honours), or equivalent, with an average of at least a B. The admissions committee may, however, also admit other candidates who satisfy the minimum admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and have demonstrated relevant knowledge and/or experience. In some cases, candidates may be required to complete a maximum of three qualifying courses prior to admission, and achieve a minimum grade of B+ in each of the qualifying courses.

A maximum of three credits in equivalencies or advanced standing may be granted. To be eligible, the credits in question must not have counted towards the requirements of a previous diploma or degree. Candidates who have already successfully completed some of the compulsory credits may be allowed to replace those credits with elective credits. For details, consult section B.2.7. of the General Regulations of the FGPS.

On completion of the graduate diploma, students meeting admission requirements may apply to the existing master’s degree in Computer Science. To do so, they must satisfy the conditions set by section A-7.1 of the Faculty of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies regulations regarding transfer from graduate diploma to master’s.
