As a program where students can complete degree requirements in as little as one year, the Civil Engineering MEng Thesis is the fastest graduate degree option we offer. It is ideal for working professional civil engineers seeking to hone their skills. It bridges the gap between the MSc and MEng (course-based) programs, allowing students to complete a minimum of 6 courses and maximum 8 courses, of which no more than two courses can be senior undergraduate. Students are also required to complete a thesis. The program has both part-time and full-time options. Please note that courses are often not scheduled for evenings/weekends.
Students in the thesis-based MEng are typically first admitted to the MEng course-based program. Students may choose to work with a faculty member to create a mini research project in place of the final four courses they would otherwise need to complete the MEng course-based program. Once the research project plan has been developed, the student switches into the MEng thesis-based program.
