MA/MS in Engineering Science

Engineering Science is a graduate degree delivered on campus, offered as a research-based Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) or a project-based Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), with nine specialization areas including mining engineering, mining-mechanical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics engineering, chemical engineering, sustainability, bioprocesses, extractive metallurgy, and process engineering. The program applies engineering knowledge to challenges in environmental protection, pollution monitoring, resource-waste reduction, and system-failure prevention, with particular strength in mining, mine-mechanical, and mineral-processing applications. Admission normally requires a bachelor's degree in engineering with a B standing (70%) in an appropriate branch such as mining, mineral processing, metallurgical, civil, mechanical, or chemical engineering; applicants with an honours B.Sc. in chemistry, geology, physics, or another appropriate discipline may also be considered for the M.A.Sc., sometimes with qualifying courses. Thesis and project-based applicants must secure a faculty supervisor before applying. It suits engineering and science graduates seeking research or applied training for careers in the mining, mineral-processing, and process engineering sectors.
