Learn English – Qualification title for French “diplôme d’ingénieur”

abbreviationsfrench

My Google-fu has maybe failed me, but I couldn't find an authoritative source about the correct English qualification title for a French diplôme d'ingénieur.

Some sources say the title is M.Sc., others MEng., so I'm not sure which one suits it best.

The most generic term which would be understood in the majority of English speaking academic circles is a Masters of Engineering. The names can vary enormously depending on the institution offering the degree, but most people should understand Masters of Engineering. Some examples:

  • Harvard

    Engineering Sciences: Electrical Engineering (S.M., M.E., Ph.D.)

    Engineering Sciences: Environmental Science and Engineering (S.M., M.E., Ph.D) Engineering Sciences: Mechanical Engineering (including a

    Materials Science track) (M.S.E.)

  • MIT

    The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) is a nine-month program that provides a practice-oriented education.

  • Oxford

    The advanced research degrees which may be awarded to graduate students in the Department are Master of Science (MSc) by research and Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil):

  • Cambridge
