Master of Engineering (MEng), Civil Engineering

Program Overview

The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a one-year, coursework-based program that is designed for engineering graduates who want to enhance their technical and professional skills to have a competitive edge in today’s job market.

Enhance your skills by taking cutting-edge graduate courses taught by leading Civil engineering faculty members.

Our 1-year MEng program requires 8 term-length courses, including an optional project course mentored by a faculty member.

You do not require a faculty supervisor to apply for and be accepted to the MEng program.

How long does the MEng program take to complete?

The MEng program offers students the option to complete their degree in either two (Fall/Winter) or three (Fall/Winter/Spring) academic terms. The academic requirements for degree completion are identical for both 2-term or 3-term streams. The overall tuition amount for both options is equal; per-term billing, however, is determined by dividing the total tuition for the academic year by the number of academic terms that the student is scheduled to participate in the program for that academic year.
