Masters in Chemical Engineering (MEng)
The requirement for the MEng degree is eight courses. Two of the courses can be at the 400 undergraduate level. Students are eligible to take any course listed in the Graduate Calendar, as long as at least four of the courses are taken from their home department. Students generally take a set of courses that fit their background and interests.
Master of Applied Science (MASc)
- Research-based degree
- Fully funded for two years
- Four graduate courses
- One seminar
- Thesis
This is a thesis-based Masters. Time-to-completion is typically 18-24 months. The minimum requirements to be fulfilled are 4 term courses and a thesis. Two graduate courses must be from within the Department of Chemical Engineering unless otherwise approved by the research supervisor and departmental graduate coordination. One course may be selected from 400-level courses in other departments. All students must take CHEM-801*, a non-credit course in laboratory safety, at the first opportunity after their initial registration. The student must attend department seminars and complete one seminar presentation on the student's thesis work in order to complete CHEE897, the mandatory seminar series course.
Doctoral Program (PhD)
- Research-based degree
- Fully funded for four years
- Four graduate courses (with a Master’s degree)
- Seven graduate courses (without a Master’s degree)
- Two seminars
- Comprehensive Exam
- Thesis
PhD candidates accepted with a M.Sc. must take a minimum of four term courses. Two graduate courses must be from within the department of Chemical Engineering, unless otherwise approved by the research supervisor and departmental graduate coordinator. At least one term-length course must be taken outside the department. All programs of study must be approved by the department. No credit is given for undergraduate-level courses.
Students in the MSc program who are promoted to the PhD program, as well as BSc holders that are admitted directly to the PhD program are required to take a minimum of four term courses. Two graduate courses must be from within the department, unless otherwise approved by the research supervisor and departmental graduate coordinator. At least one term-length course must be taken outside the department. No credit is given for undergraduate-level courses.
