MA/MS in Maîtrise en ingénierie

This master's programme in Engineering at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi is a 45-credit, on-campus, multidisciplinary programme spanning mechanical engineering, materials and metallurgical engineering, civil engineering, and electrical and computer engineering, with admission in the fall, winter, and summer terms. It prepares graduates either for doctoral studies or for the labour market, through a research profile that introduces students to the research process. Applicants must identify a faculty member willing to supervise their research project as part of admission, and the programme culminates in a 27-credit research thesis, requiring continuous thesis-course registration once the research topic is confirmed. Admission is open to holders of a bachelor's degree in engineering, fundamental sciences, applied sciences, or computer science, with a cumulative average of at least 3.0 on 4.3; applicants with an average between 2.8 and 2.99 must complete one 3-credit qualifying course, and applicants with an average between 2.6 and 2.79 must complete two such courses (6 credits). Candidates educated outside Quebec qualify with an appropriate diploma obtained after at least sixteen years of schooling and a minimum average of 11 on 20.
