Program overview
The MASc in Civil Engineering increases your technical knowledge in the planning and designing of facilities, their construction processes, their operation and their impact on the surrounding environment. The program strengthens specific areas of knowledge gained at the undergraduate level and provides an introduction to graduate research. Students interested in the course-work masters program should refer to the MEng Program instead.

Tuition & funding
Tuition and fees
Tuition and fees of the program may depend on your student status, among other key factors. Estimate these costs based on the most common situations.
Awards and funding
Funding packages are generally available for students in thesis-based programs. They come in the form of awards, teaching and research assistantships are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. Research and thesis-based students are automatically considered for all entrance graduate awards when they apply to Concordia, provided they meet eligibility criteria. No separate application is required.
The Quebec and Canadian governments offer a number of competitive graduate scholarships. We encourage you to apply for these awards at the same time you are preparing your application.
