Ranked as one of the top 25 institutions of higher learning in the world during the last five years, currently 18th in Engineering and IT, and as the best university in Canada during the last three years, McGill University is on the cutting edge of research and innovation. Helping to maintain this standard of excellence, McGill's Faculty of Engineering, offers graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to work with world-calibre researchers and exceptionally-talented students in the Departments of Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining and Materials Engineering, and the Schools of Architecture and Urban Planning. Students have access to advanced research facilities and the opportunity to be a part of innovative, interdisciplinary research teams in areas such as Aerospace Engineering, Bioengineering, Broadband Communications, Energy and Power Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Nanotechnology and New Materials, and much more.

Campus and Location

Founded in 1821, McGill is located in the heart of downtown Montréal, one of North America's most vibrant, cosmopolitan centres. The 33,000-member student body is the most internationally diverse of any university in Canada, comprised of people from 160 countries; many are bilingual or multilingual. Its location in this multicultural environment, at the crossroads of Europe and North America, makes McGill Engineering ideally suited to prepare graduates for work in the global economy. Because they are academically gifted and often highly-mobile, McGill graduates are much in demand by multinational corporations seeking to recruit the brightest and best job candidates.

Admissions

All applications and admissions into graduate engineering programs are handled by the individual departments. Before you apply, you should contact the academic unit offering the program in order to establish a relationship. The Graduate Program Coordinator/Secretary will be your main contact person within the unit and will provide you with pertinent information. They can answer your questions about program requirements, the admissions process, supplemental materials, funding opportunities and potential supervisors. However, they will recommend that you consult the faculty profiles on their department website and consult with individual researchers for specific information about research projects and opportunities in your area.
