Before you apply

Check application deadlines

Graduate programs start in September, January and May. Check your program's page for specific deadlines and details.

Admission requirements

All applicants must meet the university's minimum requirements, including English language proficiency. International students can use our unofficial international grade conversions resource for guidance.

Find a supervisor

All USask Engineering graduate programs (M.Eng., M.Sc. and Ph.D.) require a supervisor. Admission to our programs is competitive and we recommend that you reach out to potential supervisors directly and only apply once you have received interest from a potential supervisor.

To help make a strong first impression, your email should be clear, concise and professional, providing the necessary information quickly.

Complete admissions application

You will need to create an account to fill out the online application for admission. 

Within the application, you’ll be asked for:

  • Personal information such as your name, address, etc.
  • Contact information of your three referees (for your letters of recommendation, two of your referees must be academic contacts and the third may be academic or professional)
  • Your complete academic history from all previous post-secondary institutions

At the end of the online application, you will need to pay a non-refundable application fee. Your application will not be processed until payment is received. 

After submitting your application and paying the fee, make sure to log back in to submit your required documentation.

After you apply

Once your application is complete, it is circulated to faculty members for review each week.

If a faculty member agrees to supervise you, your application will be processed and you will receive a decision letter by email. Due to the high volume of applications, status updates are only provided when a faculty member agrees to supervise you or if the application is rejected.

If your application status shows as “Complete,” it is under review and processing. You will be notified of the outcome via email about two months after the application deadline. Remember, all programs require a supervisor.

Accept your offer

If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of offer by email. Follow the instructions in the letter to accept the offer before you can officially enroll in the program.

For more information, check your application status regularly.
