Program details
Overview
This thesis-based Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering, delivered by Memorial University's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science on the St. John's campus, combines a set of graduate courses and a seminar course with a research thesis. The program's research and coursework areas span mechanics, structures and materials, and hydrotechnical and environmental engineering, with specific strengths in coastal, geotechnical, and structural engineering, water resources, hydraulics, hydrology, and environmental engineering. Students have access to specialized facilities including a strength and concrete laboratory, a hydraulic laboratory with a large wave and towing tank, and an ice structures laboratory with cold rooms and specialized testing equipment. Admission generally requires an undergraduate degree in a related engineering field. The program suits engineering graduates seeking research-based graduate training in civil engineering specializations, with the combination of coursework and independent thesis research distinguishing it from purely course-based graduate options, and is aimed at those planning careers or further doctoral study in civil or structural engineering research.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering normally requires a second-class degree in an appropriate area of study from a university of recognized standing, per the program's own admission page; the program requires at least four courses, a seminar course and a thesis, normally completed over two years. The School of Graduate Studies' general English proficiency requirement applies since the program page states none of its own: TOEFL with a paper-based score of 550, computer-based 213, or internet-based 80 (plus a Test of Written English score of 4); Michigan English Test 59%; the English Language Testing Service (the predecessor of IELTS) with an average band score of 6.5; CAEL with a minimum of 50-60 in each of four bands (at least two bands at 60); or PTE Academic with a minimum of 58 in each of reading, writing, listening and speaking. No minimum GPA, program-specific test scores, or intake dates are published on the program page beyond the degree requirement; applicants are directed to Memorial's graduate application process for the remaining procedural steps.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
