| Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Mining and Materials Engineering (Thesis) (45 credits) |
|---|
|
The M.Eng. (Thesis) degree is open to graduates holding the B.Eng. degree or its equivalent in Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, or other related engineering fields. |
| Master of Science (M.Sc.) Mining and Materials Engineering (Thesis) (45 credits) |
|
The M.Sc. (Thesis) degree is open to graduates holding the B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Geology, or related fields. |
Direct Transfer from a Master's to a Ph.D. 鈥� Students enrolled in a master's program (thesis) may transfer into the Ph.D. program without obtaining a master's degree if they have:
- an excellent academic standing for their undergraduate degree;
- been in the master's program for less than 12 months;
- passed with the minimum CGPA of 3.6 at least three of the required master's courses, and given one seminar with a minimum grade of A-;
- made good progress with their research;
- obtained a strong letter of recommendation from their supervisor.
Direct Entry from B.Eng. to Ph.D.
Exceptional B.Eng. and B.Sc. graduates may be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program. The Ph.D. 1 students admitted through this process are required to complete at least four graduate-level courses.
M.Eng. (Project) Degrees
| Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Mining and Materials Engineering (Non-Thesis) (45 credits) |
|---|
|
The Master of Engineering (Project) program (Materials option) is primarily designed to train people with appropriate engineering or scientific backgrounds to allow them to work effectively in the metals and materials industries. The Master of Engineering (Project) program (Mining option) is primarily designed for graduates from mining engineering programs who have received adequate academic training in modern mining technology, mineral economics, computer programming, and probabilities and statistics. |
| Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Mining and Materials Engineering (Non-Thesis): Environmental Engineering (45 credits) |
|
This interdepartmental graduate program leads to a master鈥檚 degree in Environmental Engineering. The objective of the program is to train environmental professionals at an advanced level. The program is designed for individuals with an undergraduate degree in engineering. This non-thesis degree falls within the M.Eng. and M.Sc. programs, which are offered in the Departments of Bioresource, Chemical, Civil, and Mining and Materials Engineering. The Environmental Engineering program emphasizes interdisciplinary fundamental knowledge, practical perspectives, and awareness of environmental issues through a wide range of technical and non-technical courses offered by collaborating departments and faculties at the University. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the Graduate Program Director prior to enrolling in the program. |
| Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Mining and Materials Engineering |
| Please consult the Department for more information about the Ph.D. |
| Graduate Diploma (Gr. Dip.) Mining Engineering (30 credits) |
|
This program normally requires one academic year of full-time study to complete. Candidates are required to take an integrated group of courses based on their academic background. |

Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements
The Graduate Diploma in Mining Engineering is open to graduates with suitable academic standing in any branch of engineering or science. It is designed to provide a sound technical mining engineering background to candidates intending to work in the minerals industry.
The M.Eng. (Thesis) degree is open to graduates holding the B.Eng. degree or its equivalent in Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, or other related engineering fields.
The M.Sc. (Thesis) degree is open to graduates holding the B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Geology, or related fields.
The Master of Engineering (Project) (Materials option) is primarily designed to train people with appropriate engineering or scientific backgrounds to allow them to work effectively in the metals and materials industries. Industrial experience is favourably viewed for entrance into the program, but is not considered a necessity.
The Master of Engineering (Project) (Mining option) is primarily designed for graduates from mining engineering programs who have received adequate academic training in modern mining technology, mineral economics, computer programming, and probabilities and statistics. Students without this academic training must follow a Qualifying term. Industrial experience is favourably viewed for entrance into the program, but is not considered a necessity.
The Master of Engineering (Project) (Environmental Engineering option) is also offered.
Ph.D. degree applicants may either be 鈥渄irectly transferred鈥� from the M.Eng. or M.Sc. program (see below) or hold an acceptable master's degree in Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, or other related fields, or under exceptional circumstances may be admitted directly from the bachelor's degree. In the latter case they are admitted to Ph.D. 1 as opposed to those holding a master's degree that are admitted to Ph.D. 2.
