Schulich School of Engineering

Located in Canada’s engineering capital, the Schulich School of Engineering is Canada’s fastest-growing, most modern school of its kind. You’ll enter a four year program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in one the following areas:

• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Geomatics Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Oil and Gas Engineering
• Software Engineering

You can also complete a Biomedical Engineering Specialization or an Energy and Environment Specialization alongside any regular BSc degree in Engineering.

A five year internship program is also available which integrates sessions of supervised work experience in industry with academic study.

In conjunction with the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Schulich School of Engineering offers five year combined programs which lead to the BSc in Engineering and the BA or BSc degrees.

Applicants who have attended a post-secondary institution or who have completed a majority of their high school coursework two or more years prior to the time of application should consult with the Undergraduate Studies Office, Schulich School of Engineering prior to the application deadline.

The Schulich School of Engineering also offers diploma programs. These diplomas are intended primarily for Professional Engineers engaged in practice who do not wish to pursue or are unable to meet the residence requirements for a graduate degree. Professional Engineers without a degree who are registered with the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta, or a similar professional body, may also be eligible for registration in a diploma program.

Admission Requirements

Enrolment in the Schulich School of Engineering is limited.

To be considered for admission to the Schulich School of Engineering, applicants are required to present five appropriate high school subjects and a competitive average.

Applicants who present a two-year Engineering diploma or applied technology degree will be considered on the basis of their cumulative GPA on the diploma or applied technology degree. An Admission GPA will not be calculated using credits transferable from individual courses within the diploma or applied technology degree.

Applicants who receive transfer credits for the first year engineering program are eligible to be considered for direct admission to a degree specialization. Each degree specialization has a separate quota. Transfer students who are considered for direct admission to a degree specialization will be admitted to the specializations based on their grade point average (GPA) on the most recent eight to ten university transferable technical or scientific courses. If a transferable course is repeated, only the first passing grade (C- or better) will be counted in this GPA. The GPA required for admission may be different for each degree specialization.

Application/Document Deadlines

A Quick Look at First Year

Not sure what area of engineering you’re interested in? Don't worry – all students enter the Schulich School of Engineering into a common first-year of studies. Below you will find a list of the courses that are taken in the first-year. At the end of your first year, you’ll apply into one of nine major programs, and may add one specialization to your program. Every student entering into second year is assured a place in at least one Engineering discipline, but it may not be possible to accommodate all qualified students in the program of choice. In such situations, admission to a particular major field will be based on academic merit.

What Will I Study?

You’ll lay the foundation for your career as a Schulich student in your first year. You’ll take core courses in Engineering and related disciplines, plus have the opportunity to study a complementary course of your choice.
