Program details

Overview

Offered by Memorial University's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science on the St. John's campus, this thesis-based Master of Engineering in Process Engineering combines graduate coursework and a seminar course with an independent research thesis. Research areas centre on processing and utilizing natural resources safely and sustainably, including the chemical conversion of forestry, food, oil and gas, and mineral resources, green metal recovery, removal of fuel contaminants, and process modelling and control. Admission generally requires an undergraduate engineering degree, preferably in chemical, natural resources processing, or environmental engineering, or a related discipline. The program suits engineering graduates interested in industrial process development, resource conversion, and sustainable production methods who want research training alongside coursework rather than a purely applied, course-only credential. It is positioned as preparation for roles in process design and development within resource-processing industries, as well as a possible step toward doctoral research in process or chemical engineering.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Engineering in Process Engineering normally requires a second-class degree in engineering, preferably in chemical, natural resources processing or environmental engineering, or a relevant area of study from a recognized university, per the program's own admission page. 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.
