Entry requirements
Bachelor's DegreeA bachelor's degree in chemistry, engineering, or a closely related STEM field with a minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Prerequisite courses include one year of Physics (equivalent to UC Davis' PHY 9A-C), a year of calculus and an introductory course in differential equations (equivalent to UC Davis' MAT 21A-D and MAT22B). A year of Physical Chemistry or undergraduate courses in thermodynamics and kinetics is suggested. A programming course (equivalent to UC Davis' ENG 6) in Python, MatLab, or similar is strongly recommended.
TOEFLNot specified
IELTSNot specified
Students who have not previously earned a degree from an institution where English was the sole language of instruction must demonstrate English proficiency. This may be fulfilled through specific English language courses as per Graduate Student Course Requirements – English as Second Language (GC2018-02). Courses taken to meet this requirement do not count towards graduation units.
Fees
