Engineering science at the University of Toronto for A levels students

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The University of Toronto's Engineering Science program requires high academic performance, particularly for international students. A minimum of A grades in relevant subjects such as Chemistry, Math, and Physics is recommended, while a B in Biology is acceptable but should be maintained to avoid a drop in grades. Admission is competitive, with limited enrollment, and prospective students should review the specific requirements for international applicants from British-patterned education systems. The program is known for its rigorous standards, making it one of the most challenging to gain acceptance into among Canadian universities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of GCE A Levels and AS Levels grading system
  • Familiarity with the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Sciences and Engineering admission requirements
  • Knowledge of competitive university admission processes in Canada
  • Awareness of the significance of SAT scores in the application process
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the University of Toronto's Engineering Science admission requirements for international students
  • Explore strategies for improving grades in A Levels, particularly in subjects like Biology
  • Investigate the impact of SAT scores on admissions for engineering programs
  • Review the competitive landscape of engineering programs at Canadian universities
USEFUL FOR

International A Level students aspiring to study engineering, academic advisors, and anyone interested in understanding the admission criteria for competitive engineering programs in Canada.

Hi I'm doing A levels now and I'm planning to go to University of Toronto next year September for engineering science, my question is what are the grades needed for my AS and A2 level to get into engineering science? My trial results are A in Chemistry and Math, A- in physics and B in biology.

Are you Canadian? I looked at a similar university, London City University, which needs B's and A levels including math. However, I would advise doing your best to get A's because it always looks good to have A's when you finally look for a job. That said, a B in biology is not so bad but it could easily become a C so I would work especially hard to keep that from happening.

I'm not a Canadian I lived in Southeast Asia. But I actually just need my AS physics and I feel that I did not do very well in my paper 2 so I'm worried that I will not get accept by university of toronto engineering science. But thank you.

I do not know the grades needed by international students for Engineering Science at U of T, but Canadian high school students need very high marks to get into the program. If you consider all (not just engineering) programs at all Canadian universities, Engineering Science at U of T is one of the most difficult programs to get accepted into.
 
So I just received my actual GCE AS Level results and also SAT results, I got 4As (math, bio, chem, physics) GCE AS Level and 1360 in SAT ( 620 reading, 740 math). I'm wondering what are the chances of me getting into u of t engineering science? And also in my SPM examination (Malaysia examination equivalent to IGCSE O Level), I received 9A+ and 2A.
 
To @Lalala , my suggestion would be to first look into the admission requirements required for the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Engineering of the University of Toronto, if you haven't done so already. Here is a link below, specifically looking into those international students from a British-patterned education, as would be offered in Malaysia.

From the sound of things, it looks like you have the recommended requirements for admission into any engineering program offered at the University of Toronto, including Engineering Science. However, keep in mind that all engineering programs at the school are limited enrollment programs, so whether or not you will be admitted will depend greatly on how many students apply to the program.
