About the Program
The Master's program in Sustainable Energy involves advanced learning across engineering and public policy. Students will specialize in either the engineering or the policy side of the program, graduating with either an engineering degree (M.A.Sc. or M.Eng. in Sustainable Energy) or a public-policy degree (M.A. in Sustainable Energy). While specializing in either side of the program, students will also take courses that engage with the other disciplinary component. Students across the program will learn together, garnering an understanding of sustainable-energy problems in a setting of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Academic Regulations
- See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.
- Academic Standing - a grade of B- or better must be obtained in each course counted towards the master's degree.
- Full-time Continuation - students will be required to withdraw from the program if their weighted grade point average falls below 7.0 (B-) after two terms of full-time study (or equivalent), or if they receive a grade of less than B- in any two courses they have registered in.
- Part- time continuation - students will be required to withdraw from the program if their weighted grade point average falls below 7.0 (B-) after completing 2.0 credits, or if they receive a grade of less than B- in any two courses they have registered in.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a discipline relevant to engineering disciplinary foundations.
