Program details
Overview
This Master of Science program in Sustainable Design Engineering centers on a concentrated field of graduate study combined with a research project and an accompanying thesis. Students take graduate coursework alongside their research, drawing on electives across areas such as energy systems, biomedical engineering, bioresource engineering, mechatronics, and materials science, with the specific mix shaped by the student's research focus. A supervisor must be arranged before a student is admitted, reflecting the program's emphasis on close faculty-student collaboration on a defined research problem rather than a broad coursework-only curriculum. The program is delivered full-time on UPEI's Charlottetown campus. It suits students with an undergraduate background in engineering or science who want to pursue applied research in sustainable design and engineering under direct faculty supervision, typically as a step toward specialized industry roles or further doctoral study.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a BSc in Engineering or a relevant Science field, and UPEI requires a minimum average of 70% for the application to be considered. This is a thesis-based graduate degree, and securing a thesis supervisor before applying is itself an admission requirement, since the supervisor's area of research shapes the eventual project. Non-native English speakers, or anyone whose undergraduate instruction was not delivered in English, must provide proof of English proficiency as part of the application file, but the programme page does not publish its own test-score minimums and instead points applicants to UPEI's graduate English Language Proficiency Requirement and the Faculty of Graduate Studies admission requirements for full detail, so no specific scores are recorded here.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For the Master of Science in Sustainable Design Engineering, application deadlines are July 1 (Fall), November 1 (Winter) and March 1 (Summer) intake; the next occurrences are November 1, 2026, March 1, 2027 and July 1, 2027. Securing a supervisor before applying is an admission requirement.
