Master in Chemical Engineering (MEng)

Each week you will attend graduate seminars that introduce current challenges in chemical engineering, carry out laboratory experiments in process-engineering facilities, and develop a project that applies theory to real-world problems such as environmental control, polymer processing or energy conversion.

The programme runs for 16 months or longer and can be taken full-time or part-time. It is a course-based master’s degree that combines taught modules with a mandatory graduate seminar and a substantial project, while a separate project-only option is also available for students with extensive professional experience.

• Course-based option includes graduate seminar and project
• Project-only option for experienced professionals
• Full-time and part-time enrolment
• In-person delivery on the Dalhousie campus
