Materials Engineering (M.Sc.)

The Master of Science in Materials Engineering is a thesis-based graduate program offered by the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The program is research-intensive, covering the materials cycle from mineral processing and extraction through advanced materials development, including nano- and bio-materials, to materials recycling. Areas of specialization include biomaterials, computational materials engineering, energy and electronic materials, materials characterization, materials process engineering and design, and mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Students undertake a defined research project under faculty supervision after building foundational knowledge across the field. 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.
