We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The UNENE master's program is designed for the working professional, providing engineers the enhanced knowledge, tools, technology as well as business and management skills necessary to keep them at the forefront of their profession.

General information

The University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering (UNENE) is a Canadian-based alliance of universities, nuclear power utilities, research and regulatory agencies for the support and development of nuclear education, research and development capability in Canadian universities. UNENE was created through the partnership of five Ontario universities including McMaster University, Queen’s University, Ontario Tech University, University of Waterloo and Western University.

The UNENE Master of Engineering (MEng) program is designed for the working professional, providing engineers the enhanced knowledge, tools, technology as well as business and management skills necessary to keep them at the forefront of their profession. The program is course-based, consisting of 10 courses, or eight courses and an industrial project. The project is normally co-sponsored by the student's employer and one of the universities.

Courses in the UNENE MEng are offered on alternate weekends, usually over a seven-week period. The program consists of about 40 hours contact time plus 100 hours of homework. Students are formally evaluated through assignments, tests and exams. Courses can also be delivered using distance education tools to accommodate those students working at sites remote from the Greater Toronto Area.

For more information on UNENE and/or for course listings, please visit the UNENE website.

Admission requirements

UNENE requires an honours or four‐year degree in engineering, science or mathematics, and a B average (GPA: 3.0 on a 4.3 scale or 73 to 76 per cent) or better. UNENE also considers any relevant work or research history. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.

Required supporting documents:

Please see the checklist of required documents for a list of supporting documentation that must be submitted with your application.

How to apply

Applications for admission to all graduate studies programs are submitted online. There are five steps you must go through to complete the application process. See application process and requirements for step-by-step instructions.

Many of our graduate programs are extremely competitive; the number of qualified applicants normally exceeds the number of seats available for each intake. Satisfaction of minimum entry requirements does not ensure admission.

Program curriculum

For program requirements, including required number of credits for completion, program maps and course descriptions, please see the Graduate Academic Calendar and Course Catalogue.

Funding

Applicants to professional or course-based programs are not normally considered for internal funding sources such as entrance scholarships, minimum funding packages, teaching assistantships, research assistantships or graduate research assistantships.

While external scholarships and awards for graduate students who fall under the above criteria are often limited, we encourage you to explore some of the external scholarship databases available for possible funding opportunities.

Fees

Tuition fees for graduate programs are charged on a flat-fee or fee-per-credit basis and vary by program and student status.

For current, specific fees and details on flat-fee versus fee-per-credit programs, please see tuition and fees.
