Is this degree for you?

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)’s Undeclared Engineering entry option lets you explore various engineering disciplines in your first semester, before selecting a degree program to focus your studies. All of our 9 engineering programs share a common first semester, so you won’t be out of sync with your classmates, and you won’t have to reapply to engineering once you make your decision.

In your first semester, you’ll dive into each discipline in our Introduction to Engineering course (CEN 100). You’ll also study engineering fundamentals, such as physics, chemistry and calculus, so you’ll be prepared for any pathway.

Throughout your journey, our academic advisors and First-Year Engineering Office ambassadors can help guide you to the program that best suits you.

The following is a preview of first-year courses based on the available current academic undergraduate calendar for this program.

Requirements

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

Academic requirements

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.
