The Master of Engineering and Public Policy (MEPP) at McMaster University trains engineers and scientists to work as policy makers in the public and private sectors, addressing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability requirements of engineered products and services. The program combines technical and policy-focused coursework so that graduates can bridge engineering practice with regulatory, governmental, and organizational decision-making. It is a course-based professional graduate program completed full-time over approximately twelve to fourteen months, with admission offered for both September and January starts. Applicants require an undergraduate degree in a STEM field, or a four-year non-STEM degree in a public policy-related field. The program suits engineering and science graduates who want to move into policy, regulatory, or public-sector roles that draw on technical training, as well as professionals seeking to add policy literacy to an engineering background. It is delivered at McMaster University's Hamilton campus.
