Program details

Overview

The Master of Engineering at the University of Northern British Columbia is a course-based graduate program that allows engineering graduates to specialize in specific topics within civil engineering and environmental engineering. The program aims to prepare graduates for leadership roles in industry or for advanced technical positions. Students complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework to conclude the program. Unlike UNBC's thesis-based Master of Applied Science in Engineering, the MEng is coursework-only, without a thesis or major independent research component. International applicants must meet UNBC's graduate-level English proficiency requirement, accepting IELTS Academic (6.5 overall, no module below 6.0), TOEFL iBT (90, no section below 20), CAEL (70, no subtest below 60), PTE Academic (65, no section below 60), or the Duolingo English Test (125, no sub-score below 115). The credential awarded on completion is a Master of Engineering (MEng).

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Admission normally requires a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) from a recognized institution; domestic applicants are normally expected to hold a minimum overall average of 3.00 (B) in third- and fourth-year courses, while international requirements vary by country. Each student is assigned a faculty supervisor or advisor to guide research and monitor progress. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through an accepted test such as TOEFL, IELTS, or CAEL, unless exempt. Students without an engineering licence or an engineering degree from Canada must also complete ENGR 410-3 Professional Practice and Law.
