Admission to the graduate program in advanced materials and manufacturing is governed by the general regulations of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (OCIMAE) and by the general regulations of the FGPS. All applicants must be able to understand speak and write either English or French proficiently. Applicants whose first language is neither English nor French must provide proof of proficiency in one or the other. The list of acceptable tests is indicated in the “Admission” section of the general regulations of the FGPS. In accordance with the University of Ottawa regulation, assignments, examinations, research papers and theses can be produced in either English or French. Applications are evaluated based on the following criteria: Be the holder of a master's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering (or the equivalent). Provide a statement of purpose indicating the career goals and the interests in the proposed research area. Identify at least one professor who is willing and available to act as a thesis supervisor. NOTE: Research facilities are shared between the two campuses. Students have access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities; however, they must register at the “home university” of the thesis supervisor. Transfer from Master’s to PhD Program Students who have been permitted to transfer into the PhD program from a master's program will require 27 course credits for the PhD. NOTE: The examining board for doctoral theses will include professors from both departments and an external examiner who is a member of neither university.
