Application information

Entry requirements

An undergraduate degree from an accredited institution or a comparable institution recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education in one's home country. Students should have an undergraduate foundational knowledge in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, and controls. This foundational knowledge is typically demonstrated by receiving a B or better in undergraduate courses teaching these topics. However, other methods exist for students to be able to demonstrate their foundational knowledge and such students are encouraged to speak with the Director of Aerospace Engineering Programs regarding admittance. Satisfying the above requirements does not guarantee admittance. Students still need to apply for the program and be recommended for admission by the department and formally admitted by the Office of Admissions.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
