1. Degrees and Specializations Offered
Degrees: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Master of Science (MSc) Master of Engineering (MEng) The Department offers specializations in Chemical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering and Environmental Engineering. The Master of Engineering degree is also offered with specialization in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, Petroleum Exploration Engineering and Reservoir Characterization (Interdisciplinary). For further information on the Reservoir Characterization (Interdisciplinary) and Environmental Engineering specializations, see the separate listings in this Calendar. The Universities of Calgary and Alberta offer a joint Biomedical Engineering Program. Further information can be obtained from the separate listing in this Calendar. |
2. Admission Requirements
In addition to the requirements of the Faculty, the Department requires: | |
Master of Engineering with Specialization in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering | A Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Oil and Gas, or Petroleum Engineering Exceptionally, students with a Bachelor's degree in another branch of Engineering and substantial experience in the petroleum industry may be considered for admission. |
Doctor of Philosophy | A Master's degree in Chemical, Oil and Gas, or Petroleum Engineering Applicants to a Master's program who hold a Bachelor's degree with Distinction may be considered for later transfer to the doctoral program. |
3. Application Deadline

6. Additional Requirements
The Department has established the following two graduate courses as required courses for the Master of Science and doctoral degrees: Experimental Design and Error Analysis (ENCH 701) Advanced Mathematical Methods in Engineering (ENCH 703) Regardless of their specialization, all Master of Science students must take at least one of these two required courses while all doctoral students must take both required courses. In addition, core courses have been established for the Chemical Engineering specialization: ENCH 613, 623, 625, 631 and 633; and for the Petroleum Engineering specialization: (ENCH 621, 629, 647, 657 and 677). All Master of Science students in the Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering specializations must complete at least one of the core courses of their specialization and all doctoral students must complete at least two of the core courses of their specialization. Requirements for other specializations are listed under the corresponding sections. All full-time Master of Science and doctoral students are required to register and participate in the Research Seminar course (Chemical Engineering 601 or equivalent) in each of the Fall and Winter terms. |
7. Credit for Undergraduate Courses
Not applicable |
8. Time Limit
Expected completion time is two years for the Master of Science degree, and four years for the Doctor of Philosophy. Maximum completion time is four years for the Master of Science and Master of Engineering (Thesis) degrees and six years for the Master of Engineering (Course-based) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. |
9. Supervisory Assignments
All students are required to have a supervisor before the second annual registration. For students in the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs, a supervisor is normally appointed at the time of admission. |
10. Required Examinations
All final thesis oral examinations involve a public seminar/presentation before a closed oral examination. |
