Is this degree for you?

In Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)’s Aerospace Engineering degree program, you’ll master the mechanisms behind flight and propulsion so you can design and develop the vehicles, technologies and systems that will move us into the future.

In your first year, you’ll start with engineering fundamentals, like calculus and physics, and as you progress, you’ll study subjects such as aerospace design and flight mechanics in any of our 24 aerospace labs and facilities. In your third year, you’ll choose to specialize in Aircraft, Spacecraft or Avionics, and in fourth year, you’ll address a real-world challenge through a team capstone design project and present your solution to industry experts.

 Experiential learning opportunities: Co-op available

You’ll also have many opportunities to get practical experience from an optional paid co-op, the paid internship at the Centre for Advancing Engineering, Research and Innovation in Aerospace (AERIAS), and our student rocketry and robotics teams to our industry-connected research centres where you can work alongside clients like Bombardier and Collins Aerospace.

Requirements

This is a Grades-Only program. Admission decisions for Grades-Only programs are based on academic performance.

Academic requirements for full-time, 4-year program

To be considered for admission, Ontario high school students must meet the following requirements:

  • Completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
  • Completion of 6 Grade 12 U or M courses with a minimum overall average of 70%
  • Completion of the following required Grade 12 U courses (minimum grade of 70% in each):
  • English/anglais (ENG4U/EAE4U preferred)
  • Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
  • Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)
  • Physics (SPH4U)
  • Chemistry (SCH4U)

An overall average of 70% is required for consideration. Due to competition, the average needed for admission can fluctuate each year (it depends on the number of applications received and the number of spaces available). The grade range at the top of this page represents the average required in previous years.

Academic admission requirements for all other applicants are available on the admission requirements page. If you haven’t been educated in Ontario, you may be considered with the equivalent of the Ontario requirements. TMU reserves the right to determine equivalency at its sole discretion.
