Chemical Engineering has a wide range of applications that enhance modern life and its technologies. As a Master of Engineering student in chemical engineering, you can strengthen your technical and professional skills to gain a competitive edge in the job market. The MEng program is a one-year program beginning only in September of each year.
The requirements for this program are 8 term length courses.
- At least 4 term length courses must be taken from the department.

Master’s Funding Coverage,
Ensuring you have sufficient funding while you complete your graduate degree is essential to maintaining wellbeing and remaining focused on your academic progress. Across funding sources, our graduate students receive nearly $28 million in overall funding each year. As a graduate student, it is important that you understand how your funding works and the options available to you. On this page you will find essential information related to how funding works for graduate students at Queen’s. Our Graduate Funding Guide further outlines resources and financial supports for your graduate studies.
The majority of Master’s students in full-time non-professional programs also receive funding support (i.e., in year one for one-year programs, and in years one and two for two-year programs). Given the variations in funding for master’s programs, please consult program specific information and discuss funding with your academic advisor, supervisor, or program coordinator.
Funded students will receive what is called a ‘funding package’, which details their committed funding for each academic year. Typically, students are notified of their funding package in the summer (July/August) preceding their funded academic year (i.e., September-onwards). Funding packages are comprised of funding from a variety of sources.
