The Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University offers a Master of Engineering (MEng) and a Master of Applied Science (MASc). The MEng is a one-year, course-based program with an optional project. The MASc is a two-year program combining coursework with a research thesis. Research areas include environmental, hydrotechnical, geotechnical, and structural engineering, supported by facilities such as the Coastal Engineering Laboratory, Kennedy Field Station, and the GeoEngineering Lab. The department also participates in collaborative programs, including a Master's in Applied Sustainability and a Collaborative Graduate Program in GeoEngineering offered jointly with other engineering departments and universities. Admission requires a four-year bachelor's degree with at least a mid-B average, with particular weight given to the final two years of undergraduate coursework; applicants with a bachelor's degree in a related science may also be considered. International applicants whose first language is not English must submit an English proficiency test score.
