MA/MS in Civil Engineering at University of Calgary in Calgary, Canada is a master's degree in Civil Engineering & Construction programme. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 4,149 per credit (CAD 1,036 per credit for local students).
This graduate program leads to a course-based Master of Engineering (MEng) in civil engineering through the Schulich School of Engineering, and is usually considered a final degree rather than a stepping stone to doctoral study. Students complete ten courses aligned with one of two paths: a standard route of six core courses, three thematic courses, and one option course, or a project management specialization of four core courses and six project management courses. The curriculum is designed to build technical knowledge addressing civil engineering challenges across sectors such as engineering consultancy, project management and construction, sustainability and technology, and government and policy. Full-time completion typically takes two years, with a six-year maximum and part-time study available. An optional 8-to-16-month full-time paid internship with companies across Canada is offered on a limited basis, extending the program to three years for students who take it. The program suits civil engineering professionals and engineering graduates looking to deepen technical expertise and career prospects. Instruction is delivered at the University of Calgary.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale over the last two years of full-time study (at least 10 full-course equivalents or 60 units) of the undergraduate degree. The no-specialization stream requires a four-year baccalaureate degree in civil or environmental engineering, the Project Management specialization requires a four-year engineering degree, and BSc degrees in other fields may still be considered. Only unofficial transcripts are required at application, with official sealed transcripts required before any offer is confirmed. Programme page's English language proficiency (ELP) section defers to the Faculty's ELP requirements in the Academic Calendar without publishing programme-specific scores, so the university-wide English Language Proficiency requirement from ucalgary.ca (IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 86 legacy scale, or Duolingo 120) is cited as the general reference per institution excerpt; exemptions apply after prior study in English per that page.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
