Where will Canada's #1 Engineering school take you?
Our alumni and current students are the best testament to the value of a U of T Engineering graduate degree. Whether you’re interested in a career as a leader in an engineering firm, the CEO of your own company, a researcher advancing their field, a world-class educator or an aspiring astronaut, graduate study can lead to innumerable opportunities across all sectors and environments.
The Master of Engineering program provides graduate students with advanced professional training through coursework and an optional project.
MIE's MEng program provides graduate students with the tools to succeed in professional practice. The program consists of coursework and an optional project conducted under the supervision of an MIE faculty member. Students have the option to complete the MEng program on a full-time (12 month), extended full-time (two-year) or part-time basis.
MEng students can customize their degree by pursuing a certificate in addition to their degree and/or choosing an area of emphasis such as Analytics, Robotics & Mechatronics or Advanced Manufacturing.
MEng students who want to pursue a PhD degree after graduation are encouraged to complete a project. MIE also offers the research based Master of Applied Science (MASc) degree which is the usual path to the PhD program.
- A bachelor's degree with high academic standing from a recognized university
- Minimum GPA requirement of 3.0 (mid-B; 73-76%) in the final two years of undergraduate study
- Satisfaction of University of Toronto’s English Language requirement
- Coursework only option: Ten graduate courses

The M.Eng program is self-funded and prospective students may look into work-study and government student funding or a student line of credit through their banking institution to support their financial needs while in the program. M.Eng students are generally not eligible for awards or scholarships, except where indicated.
M.Eng students are eligible to apply for TAships and the SGS Financial Aid & Advising Office is a resource for realistic budgeting. Financial advisors can also assist in uncovering additional sources of funding through loans and grants. Finally, the UofT Centre for Career Exploration and Education is a resource for students seeking work and career advice.
