Program details

Overview

The UNENE Master of Engineering (MEng) in Nuclear Engineering at McMaster University is a part-time, course-based program delivered through a collaborative network of five Ontario universities, providing practising engineers with advanced knowledge and skills in nuclear power reactor technology intended to keep them at the forefront of their profession. It targets engineers already working in the nuclear power sector who wish to deepen their technical expertise while continuing to work full-time. Courses are scheduled outside regular working hours specifically to accommodate students who hold full-time employment while completing the degree. The program must be completed within a maximum period of five years, and, unlike most McMaster graduate programs, applications are accepted at any time during the calendar year rather than at fixed intake deadlines.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: For the part-time M.Eng., a strong baccalaureate degree in engineering, mathematics, or the physical sciences with an average of at least B (equivalent to a McMaster GPA of 8.0) is generally required. For the Graduate Diploma, offered jointly with Ontario Tech University, applicants must similarly hold a baccalaureate degree in engineering, science, or mathematics with an acceptable grade point average; relevant nuclear-industry work experience is given consideration alongside academic standing, and applicants must be deemed, on the basis of education and work experience, prepared to succeed in the program. Both credentials are course-based, delivered part-time in weekend sessions to accommodate working professionals in the nuclear industry, and admission recommendations are made by the Department Chair on the advice of the departmental Graduate Admissions Committee to the School of Graduate Studies.
