Master of Science in Engineering

A Master of Science degree in engineering (abbreviated MSE, M.Sc.Eng. or MScEng) is a type of Master of Science degree awarded by universities in many countries. It is an academic degree to be differentiated from a Master of Engineering degree.

A Master of Science degree in engineering can require completion of a thesis and qualifies the holder to apply for a program leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree (often abbreviated Ph.D. or D.Phil) in engineering while a Master of Engineering degree can require completion of a project rather than thesis and usually does not qualify its holder to apply for a Ph.D or D.Phil in engineering. The Master of Science in engineering is considered equivalent to diplom degree in engineering in the countries that haven't a specific distinction between M.Eng. and M.Sc.Eng.

Equivalent degrees are:

  • Dipl. ing. (Diplôme d'ingénieur) before name, France;
  • Dipl.-Ing. (Diplom-Ingenieur) before name, Austria;
