Mechanical Engineering (MASc)
Program overview
The Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering is a thesis-based program whose purpose is to advance the design of technological systems. Students will broaden a specific area of scientific knowledge, conducting research on a topic of their choice in mechanical or industrial engineering. Our state-of-the-art laboratories and research centres for industrial control, computer-aided vehicle engineering, composites and computational fluid dynamics attract students from all over the world. With an international reputation and world-class research programs, our department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in mechanical and industrial engineering in Canada. Students interested in the course-work masters program should refer to the MEng Programs instead.

Tuition & funding
Tuition and fees
Tuition and fees of the program may depend on your student status, among other key factors. Estimate these costs based on the most common situations.
Awards and funding
Funding packages are generally available for students in thesis-based programs. They come in the form of awards, teaching and research assistantships are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. Research and thesis-based students are automatically considered for all entrance graduate awards when they apply to Concordia, provided they meet eligibility criteria. No separate application is required.
The Quebec and Canadian governments offer a number of competitive graduate scholarships. We encourage you to apply for these awards at the same time you are preparing your application.
