- An honours bachelor’s degree with specialization or a major in environmental science disciplines with a minimum average of 70% (B).
Note: International candidates must check the admission equivalencies for the diploma they received in their country of origin.
- Demonstrate a good academic performance in previous studies as shown by official transcripts, research reports, abstracts or any other documents demonstrating research skills.
- Identify at least one professor who is willing to supervise your research and thesis.
- We recommend that you contact potential thesis supervisors as soon as possible.
- To register, you need to have been accepted by a thesis supervisor.
- The supervisor’s name is required at the time of application.
- Meet the following additional requirements:
- All students entering the program are required to have courses in mathematics, probability and statistics equivalent to courses required in undergraduate engineering programs.
- All students entering the program are also required to have taken three undergraduate courses equivalent to the following University of Ottawa courses:
- CHG 2312 or CVG 2116
- CVG 2132
