Program details

Overview

The Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University is a course-based professional graduate program aimed at deepening students' knowledge and skills in key areas of electrical and computer engineering to a level where they can lead the implementation of current technologies. The program does not require a thesis, instead building advanced technical competency through graduate coursework that reflects industry-relevant developments in the field. Students complete the degree on a full-time basis, with a program length of one to two years depending on course load and prior background, beginning each September. The program is designed for engineering graduates seeking to extend their technical expertise for engineering practice or technical leadership roles in industry, rather than for those pursuing a research-based or academic career path. It is delivered at McMaster University's Hamilton campus, within the Faculty of Engineering.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants to a Master's program in the Faculty of Engineering need a four-year bachelor's degree from a recognized university with at least a B- average (equivalent to a McMaster GPA of 7.0 out of 12) in the final year of study, in courses relevant to Electrical and Computer Engineering. Strong letters of recommendation and official transcripts from every post-secondary institution attended are required. Admission is competitive: meeting the minimum average does not guarantee a place, and final decisions rest with the Faculty of Engineering's Graduate Admissions and Studies Committee. Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate proficiency: the Faculty of Engineering requires a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 88 or an IELTS score of 6.5, though the department may publish a higher requirement. Programs may also request a statement of research interest and identification of a prospective supervisor.
