OpenFieldUQET - École de Technologie Supérieure, Université du Québec
The École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) is the engineering and technology flagship institution of the Université du Québec network, ranking first in Quebec and second in Canada for the total number of engineering diplomas awarded annually.
Academic overview & excellence
Located in the innovation district of downtown Montreal, ÉTS is dedicated to applied engineering, applied research, and technology transfer to industry. The university operates on a mandatory cooperative education model, integrating intensive industrial internships into all undergraduate degrees. ÉTS hosts over 60 research chairs, international industrial consortia, and student technology clubs (including world-champion human-powered submarines and solar cars). Research strengths center on aerospace engineering, telecommunications, additive manufacturing, renewable energy microgrids, and artificial intelligence.
Research admissions & criteria
Admission to undergraduate engineering programs (B.Ing.) requires a technical college diploma in sciences/technology or equivalent international pre-university credentials with a strong mathematics and physics foundation. Graduate programs (M.Sc.A., M.Eng., Ph.D.) require a bachelor's degree in engineering or applied science with a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.3, verified French proficiency (as courses are conducted primarily in French), research statements, and letters of recommendation.
