Prerequisites Notes

Applicants must demonstrate excellence of background preparation and academic achievement in prior degrees and, usually, possess a relevant, thesis-based master's degree. In the Faculty of Engineering, a minimum 80% standing in an applicant's appropriate master's program is the usual requirement. A master's degree obtained without a full research thesis is normally an inadequate qualification for admission to the PhD program.
