Program details

Overview

The Master of Applied Science in Systems Engineering offers master's-level training across a broad range of domains, with an emphasis on transdisciplinary approaches grounded in general systems analysis. The program focuses on mathematical and computational modelling of natural and engineered systems, equipping students to analyze, predict, control and optimize system behaviour across diverse sectors. As a thesis-based program, students conduct original research under a supervisor's guidance, culminating in a master's thesis that applies systems-analysis methods to a chosen engineering or applied problem. The broad, cross-disciplinary framing allows graduates from computer science, economics, engineering, mathematics, operations research or related science backgrounds to apply systems-engineering methods within their own domain of interest. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, Science or a related area, with a minimum average of B (70%). Full-time students are expected to complete degree requirements within two years.
