University of Toronto

Overview

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Aerospace Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto, delivered through the Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS), equips students with advanced knowledge in aircraft systems, propulsion, flight dynamics, and space systems. This program emphasizes a technical graduate curriculum supported by cutting-edge aerospace research facilities and faculty expertise, providing students with a robust foundation for a career in aerospace engineering.

What you'll study

The MEng program is structured around a comprehensive curriculum that includes both technical coursework and practical applications in aerospace engineering. Students are required to complete a minimum of seven half courses (3.5 Full Course Equivalents) that are technical in nature, with at least half of the courses offered at UTIAS.

• Indicative subject areas include:
• Aircraft flight systems and control
• Flight simulation
• Computational fluid dynamics
• Combustion and propulsion
• Aerodynamic shape optimization
• Experimental fluid dynamics
• Structural mechanics
• Advanced composite materials
• Spacecraft dynamics and control

Course offerings may vary by term, so prospective students should verify the current course list with UTIAS and the School of Graduate Studies.

Entry requirements

Applicants must meet the general regulations of the School of Graduate Studies, as well as additional admission requirements set by UTIAS. Candidates are expected to hold an appropriate bachelor’s degree in engineering or an equivalent four-year engineering degree from a recognized institution.

English language proficiency is required, with minimum scores typically as follows:

• TOEFL iBT: 93
• IELTS: 7.0

To maintain good academic standing, students must achieve at least a B– average throughout the program. Failure in any credit course may lead to termination of registration.
