At McGill University in Montréal, Canada, BA/BS in Materials Engineering is offered as a bachelor's degree in Materials Science programme. Tuition is CAD 104 per credit for local students.
This is McGill's Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Engineering, offered through the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, leading to an accredited BEng. The page states that students wanting to study materials engineering can only be admitted into the co-op stream of the program, which includes mandatory work terms; a transfer to the non-co-op major is possible only after certain requirements are met and departmental approval is obtained. The program covers the materials processing pipeline, including enriching mineral-poor ore, processing materials into target microstructures and compositions, and applying those materials in fields such as aerospace, electronics, and biological systems. Through the choice of technical complementary courses, students can specialize in particular materials technologies or broaden their study across interdisciplinary areas. The page notes that students must plan their schedule of studies in consultation with a departmental adviser. It suits students who are prepared to enter through the co-op work-term structure and who want engineering training centred on how materials are sourced, processed, and applied across industrial and biological uses.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This McGill program page carries no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, and to enter you apply to the Faculty of Engineering, confirmed on McGill's own Materials Engineering admissions listing; the program is co-op, with three paid industry internship terms built into the degree. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly from their DEC into the program, following the required Science/Engineering-stream prerequisite courses; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of the six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and are normally admitted with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:McGill sets deadlines by educational background rather than citizenship. For entry in September 2027, Quebec CEGEP and Quebec high-school applicants must apply by 1 March 2027 (documents due 15 April 2027); applicants from Ontario and other Canadian provinces must apply by 1 February 2027 (documents due 4 May 2027). International applicants, including those on a U.S. high-school or IB curriculum, must apply by 15 January 2027 (documents due 1 March 2027). The application portal opens 1 October 2026. Deadlines are firm and late applications are not accepted; admission is not rolling, and decisions are released competitively from November through July depending on school system. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
