MA/MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering is a master's degree in Electrical Engineering programme taught at University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,186 per semester (CAD 3,266 per semester for local students).
The Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate program at the University of Manitoba offers two master's-level credentials, each with an expected duration of two years on the Fort Garry campus, along with a pre-master's option for students needing prerequisite work. The Master of Science combines coursework and a faculty-supervised research project, requiring a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework plus a thesis, oral presentation, and oral examination, and is described as a pathway toward further research and PhD study. The Master of Engineering is a terminal degree that does not lead to a PhD, requiring a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework, including at least nine credit hours at the 7000 level, plus an advisor-approved engineering project worth six or more credit hours. Both pathways require a minimum 3.0 GPA and acceptance by an academic advisor into their research group. The Master of Engineering suits practicing engineers continuing broad study, while the Master of Science suits those aiming toward further research.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Department requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 for both the MSc and MEng streams. Applicants must first be accepted by an academic advisor into their research group before applying; where the applicant's academic background is judged insufficient, the department may instead recommend admission to a pre-master's program, which is not intended for applicants below the University's or department's minimum GPA or who have not passed an English language exam. No specific prerequisite courses are listed. English proficiency follows the University's general graduate standard: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, TOEFL iBT 86 overall with a minimum of 20 per section, PTE Academic 61, Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a minimum 100 per skill, valid two years. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee admission, and the MEng is a terminal degree that does not lead to a PhD.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall, Winter and Summer
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
