Please check the UBC Engineering website for admission requirements, deadlines and application procedure. The MEng program is a course-based Masters set up to provide students with a professional development experience that exposes them to new tools in Geological Engineering with an emphasis on the need to recognize and manage geological variability, uncertainty, and geo-risk in engineering design. The program is entirely course driven although there is a graduating paper students must write. For specific program requirements, please refer to the departmental program website Emphasis in our graduate courses is placed on case histories and project work that target the integration of field techniques/data with advanced numerical modelling to better understand the importance of underlying processes, mechanisms, and interactions that can affect engineering designs. The MEng program is a one-year program and students are expected to be self-funded. Organizations may provide their employees with tuition benefits as part of an employment package to support lifelong learning of their workforce. Professional / course-based programs usually do not provide merit-based funding. Some programs may offer bursaries.
