Program details

Overview

Mineral Resource Engineering (MEng) is a course-based professional master's program in Dalhousie University's Department of Civil and Resource Engineering, offered full-time or part-time on the Halifax campus. It builds on undergraduate engineering training with advanced study in mine design, rock mechanics, and mineral processing, preparing graduates for technical, environmental, and economic decision-making roles in the extraction and processing of mineral resources. As a professional degree the program is delivered in person and centres on applied coursework and design work rather than a research thesis. The nominal length is 16 months or longer, and the department admits students each September and January. Applicants must meet the Faculty of Graduate Studies' general admission requirements together with program-specific criteria set by Civil and Resource Engineering; the department directs prospective students to its graduate studies office for the specific requirements. International applicants face additional admission and English-language requirements administered by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
