Program overview
The Master of Applied Science in Quality Systems Engineering has two main objectives. First, to provide students with the skills and technical expertise needed to design, analyze, implement and manage quality systems. Second, to maximize students' potential as researchers in the fields of quality systems, lean engineering and supply chain management. Those enrolled in the program will engage in applied research and coursework, examining existing theories and methods that currently influence the quality of systems, services, products and processes.

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.
