Program details

Overview

Chemical Engineering (MASc) is a thesis-based research master's program delivered in person by Dalhousie University's Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science, in the Faculty of Engineering. Research areas include environmental control, plastics and polymers, pulp and paper, instrumentation and process control, petrochemicals, petroleum and natural gas processing, and energy conversion, with faculty interests spanning bioprocessing and drug delivery, dust-explosion risk management, pilot-scale design and testing, multiphase process engineering, and oil-and-gas processing. The program typically takes two years to complete on a full-time basis. Before admission, an applicant must be accepted into a professor's research program to serve as thesis supervisor. Entry requires a baccalaureate degree, or its academic equivalent, from an institution recognized by Dalhousie University, plus satisfaction of the Faculty of Graduate Studies' general admission requirements. Domestic annual tuition for Engineering (Applied Science) master's programs is published at $11,303 for the 2026-27 academic year, with international students paying the domestic rate plus a flat thesis-program international differential.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need a baccalaureate degree, or its academic equivalent, from an institution recognized by Dalhousie University, and must be accepted by a professor into their research program to serve as thesis supervisor before admission. Applicants must also satisfy the Faculty of Graduate Studies' general admission requirements; the department's own published English-language threshold (a TOEFL score of 580) reflects a legacy paper-based scale that does not map to current test-score conventions and is not reproduced here.
