Program Options and Requirements
The MEng Program is flexible and customizable with three options on program length. The standard program is the extended full-time program which takes two years to complete. Students can accelerate their degree by completing the full-time program and the part-time program option is a great option for those who are currently employed and wish to upgrade their skills and knowledge.
