In addition, those admitted must have completed the equivalent of a senior-level project course or thesis in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering. Significant industrial or research experience in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering coupled with an honours undergraduate degree program or equivalent from an accredited university will be considered equivalent to an undergraduate Electrical, Computer or Software Engineering thesis.<br><br>Applicants must also satisfy specified requirements set out by the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS), such as demonstrating competence in the English language. The following are the minimum English Language test scores (if required): TOEFL: 90-91 (iBT) or IELTS.<br><br>The above requirements are the minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission.
