Chemical and Petroleum Engineering - MSc - Thesis

As a degree that is typically the first step toward a career in research, the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering (M.Sc) program is designed to give students the firm foundation they need to achieve greater things. Besides taking courses in chemical/petroleum engineering fundamentals, each student produces and defends a thesis. Engineering fundamentals are usually the thesis topics for the M.Sc.

Completing this program

• Courses (Excluding Petroleum Engineering): Topics may include mass transfer, chemical reactor design, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and more.
• Professional Development Courses: Students take two professional development courses on communication styles, presentation skills and more.
• International Internship: Students may participate in an international project outside of Canada for between four and six months.
• Petroleum Engineering: Core courses include Reservoir Simulation, Secondary and Tertiary Recovering, Thermal Recovery Methods and more.
• Thesis: Students will be required to submit and defend an original thesis.
