Program details

Overview

This research-based master's program in electrical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal organizes advanced study around three areas: automation and systems, including control systems and robotics; telecommunications, covering information theory and communication networks; and microelectronics and computing systems, covering the design of digital, analog, and mixed circuits. Students select courses from one or more of these areas, or from other relevant departments with their supervisor's approval, and complete the program through a thesis based on original research. Courses are taught on campus at Polytechnique Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, primarily during the day, with some sections offered in English. The program suits engineering graduates who already have a solid foundation in electrical engineering, particularly in control systems, and who are seeking supervised research training as a step toward advanced technical work or further graduate study.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 2.75 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: The Electrical Engineering (M.Sc.A., research master's) programme page defers to Polytechnique Montréal's institution-wide graduate admission conditions, and, as with all research-based programmes, requires a professor willing to supervise the applicant's research before the file is considered.Polytechnique's institution-wide graduate admission conditions set a minimum admission average, for applicants from the Canadian university system holding a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or a related discipline, of 2.75/4.0 (equivalently 3.0/4.3, B, 70%, or 7/10); different minimum averages are published for other countries of prior study. Candidates choose to sit the required language test in English or French: French exemptions and thresholds are the same as the Baccalauréat's (DALF C1/C2, DELF B2, or 400/level B2 in TCF/TEF Canada or Québec); the English route accepts TOEFL iBT 75, TOEIC 605, IELTS Academic 6.0, PTE Academic 50, or Duolingo English Test 115, each valid 2 years, with the corresponding secondary/university systems and OIQ-language-compliant candidates exempt from either test.
