How to Apply

Submitting a complete application package to the aerospace engineering program is a three-stage process: 1) Connect with a supervisor; 2) Submit your application via the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC), and 3) Prepare your documents to upload via Toronto Metropolitan University’s Yeates School of Graduate Studies. (The online system is mandatory; the Yeates School of Graduate Studies will not accept any hard copy application packages, nor will they be processed.)

For more information on how to apply to the PMDip program, visit our Professional Master's Diploma in Aerospace Design Management page.

1. Connect with a Supervisor

Connecting with the right supervisor is crucial to your graduate student experience and career. It is highly recommended that MASc and PhD students secure a graduate supervisor with whom they will conduct research together. Visit our Find a Supervisor page to view available supervisors in your program for each academic term and degree.

To find a supervisor with research interests that align with yours, visit our Faculty page. To further optimize your supervisor search, consider exploring the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science’s areas of Research Expertise.

Please list the aerospace engineering faculty member you wish to work with or the faculty member who has already agreed to supervise you on the online application. To learn more about this process, please contact the graduate program administrator in your program and consult the Yeates School of Graduate Studies’ Tips for Finding a Prospective Supervisor.

Note: For MEng students, securing a supervisor is not required for admission.

Upon Admittance

If you have been admitted into a Toronto Metropolitan University graduate program and have confirmed your offer, you will be required to submit official final transcript(s) in a sealed envelope that is sent directly from the institution(s) (if not already on file). An official transcript is a document that is normally prepared by an institutions Registrar's office. Official transcripts are printed on security paper and bear the official seal of the institution. This document includes all courses completed, final grades, degree's awarded and other applicable academic information. Toronto Metropolitan University students are not required to submit an official Toronto Metropolitan University transcript.

If you are taking a spring and/or summer course(s) and your graduation status has been delayed to the Fall term, you must submit an official transcript with all completed courses and grades, and a letter from your institution’s Registrar’s Office stating your degree requirements have been met and that you are eligible to graduate, including the date of the expected convocation. This letter must be prepared on official letterhead and sent directly from your institution in a sealed envelope.

If you have withdrawn from a program since applying and accepting an offer to Toronto Metropolitan University, and the program did not serve as the basis of admission, your official transcript must indicate that you have withdrawn from the program.  Alternatively, you may submit an official transcript with all completed courses and grades, and attach a separate letter from the institution’s Registrar’s Office confirming that you have withdrawn from the program.  This letter must be prepared on official letterhead and sent directly from your institution in a sealed envelope.  Please contact the Admissions Office to ensure a withdrawal from a program does not impact your admission status.

Applicants who did not complete their bachelor's or master's degree in the English language will be required to submit a English language proficiency test score. More information about the acceptable language tests and minimum required scores can be found on the Graduate Studies Admission Requirements page.

For exemption from this requirement, you are required to provide an official statement from your institution confirming that English is the language of instruction and examination for the duration of study.
