Entry requirements

Applicants must meet the same admission requirements as the Financial Mathematics master's degree. Engineering for Professionals (graduate programmes): applicants hold a bachelor's or graduate degree from a US regionally accredited college or university (or have no more than 30 credits remaining in their undergraduate degree), submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions and an online application, plus any programme-specific items such as a resume, statement of purpose or letter of recommendation. Admitted students typically have a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the latter half of their undergraduate studies. International applicants must submit TOEFL or IELTS (minimum TOEFL 100 iBT), with waivers possible at the admissions office's discretion; most Engineering for Professionals programmes do not qualify for F-1/J-1 student sponsorship.
