MA/MS in Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MESc)

The Master of Engineering Science (MESc) in Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Western University is a thesis-based graduate research degree. Students undertake original research using experimental or computational facilities under the close supervision of a faculty member, culminating in a thesis. The program runs full-time over six terms, roughly two years, and requires a faculty member to first agree to act as thesis supervisor before admission is finalized. It builds on an undergraduate engineering foundation to develop advanced research competency in mechanical and materials engineering topics, preparing graduates for further doctoral study or research and technical roles in industry. Admission cycles run across the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms, with separate deadlines set for domestic and international applicants.
