In the ECE department, admission is considered separately from financial support. Financial assistance is available for some students.It is up to the student to ensure that sufficient funds are available to undertake his/her graduate program. The Department has a very strong research focus and ranks number one amongst ECE departments in Canada in NSERC research funding per professor. Students should contact potential supervisors for research assistant funding.
