The Department offers two research degrees, Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). These higher degrees are awarded on the basis of independent but supervised research in a topic, culminating in the submission of a thesis. In addition, M. Eng. and Ph. D. candidates must take and pass a number of prescribed graduate modules. The award of a Ph.D. will also require an oral examination.

The normal entry requirement for admission as a Master of Engineering candidate is a good bachelor's degree. For admission as a Doctor of Philosophy candidate, a Master's degree is normally required. In both cases, the candidate must show the ability to pursue research in the proposed field of advanced study.

For the M. Eng. degree, the period of candidature ranges from 1 to 3 years, while that for the Ph. D. degree ranges from 2 to 5 years.

Financial support is currently available for suitably qualified candidates.

Application forms and further details can be found from the Graduate Studies in Engineering. If you have any inquiries regarding these two degrees, please contact:
