Program details
Overview
UBC's Master of Engineering in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is a coursework-based professional degree offered through the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Applied Science, delivered in person on the Vancouver campus. It pairs engineering study with business content: students work through ship design, operation and maintenance from a technical standpoint while also examining shipbuilding procurement, ship project management and the different stages of the marine industry's value chain. Alongside that, the program builds fundamental business and interpersonal skills so graduates can coordinate multidisciplinary teams and run complex projects. There is no thesis, and recent graduates have typically finished in about a year. The degree is administered by UBC Engineering's professional programs office rather than the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, which is where admission requirements and deadlines are published.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:76.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This MEng is administered by UBC Engineering's professional-programs office rather than the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies; the grad-school program page defers to the Department of Mechanical Engineering's own application instructions. Those departmental pages require a minimum overall average equivalent to B+ (country-specific equivalencies set by the MEng Program Office), a bachelor's degree normally in Civil, Materials or Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field, and demonstrated proficiency in structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, automatic controls and thermodynamics (applicants lacking this background may need additional coursework). English proficiency for applicants whose prior instruction was not in English requires IELTS overall 6.5 or TOEFL iBT overall 90.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international undergraduate applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC for Winter Session 2027/28 (September 2027 entry) and Summer 2027: applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration deadline is 15 January 2027, 11:59 p.m. PST, the same date for both groups; a few programs keep reviewing late applications on a space-available basis afterwards. Earlier dates apply only to entrance-award consideration -- 15 November 2026 for the International Scholars Program and 1 December 2026 for Presidential/Centennial/Beyond Tomorrow scholars. Several limited-entry programmes -- Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing (advanced entry), Occupational/Physical Therapy, Social Work and Teacher Education -- set their own earlier deadlines from October 2026 through February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
