Program details

Overview

This master's program in engineering at Queen's University's Smith Engineering is a coursework-based degree, with an optional research component available for students who choose to include one. Students select a discipline-specific specialization, such as chemical, civil, electrical and computer, mechanical and materials, mining, applied sustainability, or nuclear engineering, and complete their required academic units on either an accelerated or a more extended timeline. Teaching is delivered on campus at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The program suits recent engineering graduates who want to expand their technical and professional skills, including leadership and communication, as well as working professionals seeking to update their expertise, and those aiming for career advancement without committing to a thesis-based research degree.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Master of Engineering overview page describes the MEng as an 8 to 12 month, coursework-based graduate program for engineering graduates but does not itself state admission numbers; Queen's department-level MEng pages set the general standard: a bachelor's degree in Applied Science or Engineering with a minimum B- standing, 70 to 72.9%, equivalent to a GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Queen's graduate English-language proficiency requirement before final acceptance: TOEFL iBT 88 overall, writing 24, speaking 22, reading 22, listening 20, paper-based TOEFL 550, or IELTS Academic 7.0. Applicants apply directly to their intended engineering department rather than through the common first-year process used for undergraduate admission.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Applicants to Queen's apply through OUAC; for Fall 2027 entry the application period opens October 1, 2026, with a November 20, 2026 recommended date to preserve access to the Major Admission Award application. First-year programmes in Commerce, Health Sciences, and Nursing close February 1, 2027, with a mandatory supplementary application due February 15, 2027; all other first-year programmes close March 1, 2027. The final deadline to submit supporting documents, including transcripts and English-proficiency test scores, is March 31, 2027. Queen's publishes the same OUAC-based deadlines for domestic and international applicants and does not describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
