Overview

Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering

The thesis-based Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc) in Mechanical Engineering is a traditional research-based degree. 

The program typically takes two years of full-time study and includes thirty credits, research under the supervision of a faculty member and a thesis. 

The Master of Applied Science course is recommended for students interested in eventually pursuing a PhD.

Students taking their M.A.Sc in Mechanical Engineering at UBC can select one of the below research areas:

  • Applied Solid Mechanics
  • Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Engineering
  • Energy & Environment
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Manufacturing Automation & Robotics
  • Mechatronics & Instrumentation
  • Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering

With eight Research Chairs and almost every research faculty member holding at least one NSERC grant, UBC has one of Canada's most active research programs and consistently produces industry and academic leaders.
