Application information

Entry requirements

Normally, applicants have completed an undergraduate degree in engineering or applied science with a first-class standing. Applicants who meet the Faculty admission requirements but are lacking course background may be admitted to the program with the requirement that they take up to 6 units of additional undergraduate courses. Students must obtain a grade of at least B (5.0/9.0) in each course, and an average B+ (6.0/9.0) overall. These units would not count towards the requirements for the MEng-MTIS degree program. Students will be expected to complete additional courses no later than the end of their second term.

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

Many graduate programs have three entry points: September, January and May; entry points and deadlines are listed on each program overview page.

The application fee is $145.25 if all documents originate within Canada and $187.00 if any originate outside Canada, payable online by credit card.
