Civil Engineering (M.Sc.)

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering is a thesis-based graduate program offered by the Department of Civil Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. Students complete coursework selected with their supervisor alongside an independent research project spanning two to three semesters, in an area such as structures, infrastructure rehabilitation, risk engineering, fluid mechanics and hydraulics, materials engineering, soil mechanics and foundations, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, or transportation engineering. The program is typically completed in 20 to 24 months of full-time study, with the research project accounting for two to three semesters of that timeline. Admission requires an eligible bachelor's degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA (out of 4.0), plus McGill's English-language proficiency requirement for applicants whose first language is not English. The program admits students in the Fall term.
