Eligibility Criteria
The minimum academic requirement for admission to the PhD program is normally a recognized master’s degree in engineering. Applicants are usually required to have completed a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from a recognized post-secondary institution and must have achieved a minimum B average in their Master’s program. Applicants must also have demonstrated strong potential for research. A strong recommendation from the MASc advisor is necessary. Direct admission to the PhD program is rarely granted. Applicants requesting direct admission must hold a bachelor’s degree with exceptionally high academic standing and have related research experience. Such applicants should discuss this option with the Associate Director, Graduate Studies at an early opportunity.
