A Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Co-op Program enables students to combine graduate studies with work experience. This program fosters professional development, networking and new collaborations while enhancing employment opportunities after degree completion.
This is a highly competitive program and there will be a limited number of spots available each term. Therefore, if interested in both programs, we highly suggest that applicants apply to BOTH the regular M.Eng. program, as well as the M.Eng. Co-op program to increase their chances of success.
Note: M.Eng. students do not have a supervisor, nor do they receive financial assistance (unless on a paid co-op term). M.Eng. students are expected to be entirely self-funded. As well, new and current students in the regular M.Eng. program will not be able to transfer into the M.Eng. Co-op program.
Note: Graduate Records Examination (GRE) scores are not an application requirement for our graduate program, but can be submitted as part of your application package.
Begin your application at least two weeks prior to the deadlines below to give your referees enough time to submit references on your behalf, and to ensure you have enough time to upload the documents required.
All applicants have the same deadline whether they are international (study permit), Canadian, or a Permanent Resident of Canada.

Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
