Applicant Profile
Application Requirements. The regulations for the postgraduate program in engineering sciences stipulate the following application requirements: Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree or another academic degree or professional university title in engineering or a related discipline, at least equivalent to the level required for a Bachelor's degree. Furthermore, the applicant's proposed research area must be compatible with those currently being developed at UC Engineering. The program is based on collaborative work between a supervising professor and a student in a defined area of specialization; therefore, a certain degree of shared interests is required. This last point means that admission cannot be guaranteed for all qualified applicants. Therefore, it is highly recommended to contact a professor working in the area of interest before applying. The following link provides a list of UC Engineering faculty members grouped by academic area. Applicants must also have sufficient English proficiency to read articles and books and access international documents and databases.
