The Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) and Master of Engineering (MEng) are professional programs designed for engineers wishing to upgrade their training and fast-forward their careers.
The Master of Applied Science (MASc), Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are thesis-based research programs designed for students wishing to pursue research.
Master of Engineering Leadership
The Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) accepts engineers and technical leaders with three or more years of industry experience. The MEL is an interdisciplinary degree with classes in both the Faculty of Applied Science and the Robert H. Lee Graduate School at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. The MEL focuses on developing students’ technical and business knowledge.
