Program details
Overview
This Graduate Diploma (DESS) in Chemical Engineering is designed for holders of an undergraduate degree in a science-based discipline who want to complete additional graduate-level training in chemical engineering. The 30-credit programme is organized into three components: up to 6 credits of 4000-level (senior undergraduate) courses, 24 to 30 credits of graduate-level coursework, and up to 3 credits from a project or seminar. Applicants who did not complete their undergraduate chemical engineering degree at Polytechnique Montreal must take GCH1110 (Process Analysis and Sustainable Development) or GCH8610 (Biopharmaceutical Process Analysis) in their first term, unless they pass a chemical engineering placement test administered by the department. On completion, graduates receive the Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees (DESS) from Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, with applications accepted for the fall, winter, or summer intake.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.50 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree in engineering or another discipline relevant to the programme, or a university degree of a scientific nature together with training that Polytechnique Montreal considers relevant. Candidates must also have a minimum cumulative average of 2.5 out of 4.0 (or 2.7 out of 4.3, or the recognized equivalent); applicants who do not meet this average may request an exception by presenting a file demonstrating aptitude for graduate study, such as relevant professional experience or further study completed since their university degree. Admitted students must also have a designated director of studies (directeur d'etudes). Meeting these general requirements does not guarantee admission, since each application is also assessed against the specific conditions of the individual programme. Applicants who did not complete their undergraduate chemical engineering degree at Polytechnique Montreal must also take GCH1110 (Process Analysis and Sustainable Development) or GCH8610 (Biopharmaceutical Process Analysis) in their first term, unless they pass a chemical engineering placement test administered by the department.
