Program Overview for MASc in Mechanical Engineering in Canada:
Within the department of Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University, candidate can apply to a degree of Master of Applied Science (MASc) in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Material Engineering
The Master of Applied Science (MASc) is a thesis-based research degree that requires at least four courses, completion of the departmental gradate seminar requirements and a research thesis. The thesis must include an original contribution to the discipline and should include material of publishable quality.
The MASc is the degree required in the Faculty of Engineering at Dalhousie to pursue further study at the PhD level.
The eligibility for MASc in Mechanical Engineering in Canada for both domestic and international student is:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, or related field, from a recognized college or university
- Minimum entrance GPA of 3.0/4.3 (equivalent to a B at Dalhousie University)
- Two sealed official copies of transcripts from all previous degrees (graduate and undergraduate) from all institution attended. This includes exchange program and any courses taken outside of your home universities.
- Two letters of reference submitted either electronically or by mail.
- A full curriculum vitae (CV) highlighting personal academics, work and research history, publications, awards, scholarships and extra-curricular activities.
- A statement of research interest, not exceeding two pages, explaining their research interests and ideally listing potential supervisors the applicant has already talked to and obtained positive feedback from.
In order to be considered for admission by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, an applicant must first be selected by a potential supervisor (faculty member) in the department. Each faculty member in the department is given the opportunity to review the files of applicants interested in this faculty member’s research or expertise area. If the faculty member has research position openings and/or projects and/or funding available, she or he might opt to select an applicant to potentially work under her or his supervision (or co-supervision). Once selected, all the applicants must be confirmed by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Registrar’s office before acceptance is granted.
In view of this, it is strongly suggested that potential graduate applicants (MEng, MASc and PhD) contact one or more potential supervisors (faculty members), specifically those in areas of similar interest, both expertise and research, well before submitting an application to begin the conversation, and see if those potential supervisors have the projects, funding, availability and the interest in being a potential supervisor.
Applicants who are potentially eligible to NSERC scholarships, Killam Scholarships and NSGS scholarships should also contact their potential supervisor and the department once the potential supervisor as clearly stated interest. Deadlines for all those scholarships are between October and December.
N.B: Most universities have specific international admission requirements based on different education systems.
These are the test eligibilities for the MASc in Mechanical Engineering to qualify.
The English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements for MASc in Mechanical Engineering in Canada: are:
N.B: ELP is not mandatory for all international students. You could apply without ELP if your previous degree's medium of instruction were in English. Students of Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, for example, are not required to take the ELP test.The scholarships available for the MASc in Mechanical Engineering are:
