Degrees in Chemical Engineering:

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Master of Science in Chemical Engineering [MSc(Eng)]

Master of Engineering (MEng)

The Master of Engineering degree is also offered with specialization in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering or in Environmental Engineering.

In addition to the requirements of the Faculty, the Department requires:

Master of Engineering with Specialization in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering

A Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Oil & Gas, or Petroleum Engineering, or a Bachelor's degree in another branch of Engineering with substantial experience in the petroleum industry

Doctor of Philosophy

A Master's degree in Chemical, Oil & Gas, or Petroleum Engineering

Applicants to a Master's program who hold a Bachelor's degree with Distinction may be considered for later transfer to the doctoral program.

Deadlines for submission of complete applications for students with international transcripts:

1 April for September admission

1 August for January admission

1 December for May admission

Deadlines for submission of complete applications for students with Canadian and US transcripts:

The Department has established the following seven 600-level courses as being fundamental or "core" for the Master of Science and doctoral degrees: Chemical Engineering 613, 623, 625, 631, 633, 639 and 677. All Master of Science students must complete at least two of these "core" courses. All doctoral students holding a recognized Master's degree in chemical, oil & gas or petroleum engineering must complete at least one of these "core" courses. All doctoral students, who are approved to proceed directly to the doctoral study without having to complete a Master's degree, must complete at least three of these "core" courses.

All full-time Master of Science and doctoral students are required to register and participate in the Research Seminar course (Chemical Engineering 601) in each of the Fall and Winter terms.

Not applicable

Expected completion time is two years for the Master of Science degree, and four years for the Doctor of Philosophy. Maximum completion time is four years for the Master of Science degree and Master of Engineering (thesis-based) and six years for the Master of Engineering (course-based) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

All students are required to have a thesis supervisor before the second annual registration. For students in the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs, a supervisor is normally appointed at the time of admission.

All final thesis oral examinations involve a public seminar/presentation before a closed oral examination.
