Entry requirements

Admission with master's degree: the normal requirement for admission into the Ph.D. program is a master's degree with a thesis in engineering or a related program. Admission with bachelor's degree: exceptional applicants holding an honours bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related program with an average of A- or better, with demonstrated potential for independent thought and advanced research, may be directly admitted to the Ph.D. program. These candidates will be required to take extra coursework credits, equivalent to the coursework requirements of the master's with thesis degree less 0.5 credits, prescribed as additional requirements at the time of admission. Fast-track: Students who have been admitted to a master's program may be permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program if they demonstrate: (a) outstanding academic performance by completing at least 2.5 credits of course work with a CGPA of A of higher, and (b) significant promise for advanced research and the ability to defend their Ph.D. proposal in the first year of their Ph.D. program. The coursework requirements for fast-tracked students will be the same as those for students admitted with a bachelor's degree.
