Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics (HBSc)
Do you want to build robots and develop autonomous systems? Interested in finding and patching vulnerabilities in computing systems? Are you fascinated by the possibilities of machine learning in data science? Whether considering a career in industry or graduate school, our programs will give you the skills you need and teach you to think analytically and creatively.
Students studying programs in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics gain insights from all three disciplines, making them a versatile problem solver. Undergraduate students work closely with professors and graduate students in a supportive environment for a well-rounded learning experience. Upper-year students also get to stretch their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and technical knowledge with opportunities to create products with commercial potential.
Entry to the Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics admission category is gained directly from high school. Applicants who have completed any postsecondary studies (including studies at other divisions at the University of Toronto) are not eligible for admission.
"I’ve found that what really helps me more than anything here in UTM is the community. I’ve met a lot of people from various backgrounds who have helped me build on myself and push me to success."

Srikanth Srinivas, 4th year, Computer Science
A University of Toronto startup that uses crowdsourcing to deliver goods to small businesses has been acquired by its biggest customer.
Blip Delivery, founded in 2018 by U of T Mississauga students affiliated with ICUBE’s accelerator program, is the Uber of deliveries, says co-founder and CEO Srikanth Srinivas, who is in his final year of studying computer science.
Daniel Zingaro, Assistant Professor, Mathematical and Computational Sciences
Daniel Zingaro wants to click with his students – literally.
Zingaro, an assistant professor, teaching stream, in the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at U of T Mississauga, is considered an international leader in the use of peer instruction, or PI – an active-learning approach that uses clickers to engage students on material.
Women in Science and Computing Club
A new student club at U of T Mississauga is connecting women in science and computing studies with networking and career development opportunities. Since its soft launch in December, the Women in Science and Computing club (or WiSC) has hosted three events, including an exam study session, a film screening and a career panel with a San Francisco-based leader in web development.
