He received a B.Math degree from the University of Waterloo in 1995. In 1996 he received a Commonwealth Scholarship to attend Wolfson College, Oxford University, where he received his M.Sc. for mathematics and foundations of computer science. On another scholarship (and while holding a fellowship, Mosca received his D.Phil in quantum computer algorithms, also at Oxford.^[1]
