Admission Requirements

Test Scores:
  • Test of English as a Foreign Language (Paper Based) [min. 580] or Canadian Academic English Language Assessment [min. 70] or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Internet Based) [min. 86] or International English Language Testing System (academic or immigration) [min. 6.5]
Additional Admission Requirements:
  • Letter(s) of Reference
The requirement for admission to the master's program in Environmental Engineering is a four-year bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, other related engineering disciplines (Civil, Chemical, Mechanical, etc.), or Environmental Science disciplines.

All students entering the program are required to have courses in mathematics, probability and statistics equivalent to courses required in undergraduate engineering programs. Students admitted without full equivalency in these areas are expected to take appropriate undergraduate courses early in their studies. These courses will be additional to the normal degree requirements.

For applicants to the M.A.Sc. program without a bachelor’s degree in environmental, civil or chemical engineering, up to 3 undergraduate courses may be required in addition to the graduate program requirements. These may include a course in fluid mechanics, a course in environmental engineering fundamentals and a senior level undergraduate course in environmental engineering to be identified jointly by the supervisor, Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, and Director or Associate Director for OCIENE in the department.

For applicants to the MEng program without a bachelor’s degree in environmental, civil or chemical engineering, up to 3 undergraduate courses may be specified in addition to the graduate program requirements at admission by the Director or Associate Director for OCIENE in the department. These will include a course in fluid mechanics, and course in chemical/biochemical kinetics and reactors if required.
