Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do I need to send original transcripts and diplomas?

A1: At this stage, NO. We just need scanned unofficial copies of them (in PDF format). Make sure they are clear, complete and accompanied by an English Translation if they are in other languages. If you are accepted for admission, your final and official transcripts will be required within 90 days of the start of your program.

Q2: Shall I contact potential supervisors in the department?

A2: Identifying a potential supervisor is NOT required when applying. For MEng students, the Graduate Coordinator is their supervisor by default. PhD and MASc applications are sent to all faculty members in the department, and are accepted only if one or more faculty commit to supervise and fund them. Hence, it is recommended that PhD and MASc applicants contact potential supervisors to increase their chances of being accepted, although it is not necessary.

Q3: When shall I expect to receive a decision regarding my application for admission?

A3:  Once we have the complete application (including all supporting documents), we usually do our assessment and send an admission recommendation (Accept/Reject) to FGS within two weeks. Beyond that, we have no control over the process. But FGS usually makes a decision and communicates it to the applicant within 1-2 weeks.

Q4: Can you tell me the amount of the admission deposit and the cost of attending the program?

A4: Kindly note that student financial matters, including tuitions and fees, are not handled by academic departments.

Meanwhile, please refer to the FGS' Your guide to the application process webpage for more information.
