Transfer From Another Post-Secondary Institution
With an international reputation for innovation, Engineering Science offers a fast-paced program that mirrors life at the pioneering edge of high-tech development. Areas of study can include microelectronics, computer engineering, robotics, biomedical engineering, multimedia, systems or telecommunications.
Vancouver Community College (VCC) transfer program
VCC students can transfer to second-year Engineering Science once they satisfy the requirements of this certificate program.
Douglas College transfer program
Douglas students can transfer to second-year Engineering Science once they satisfy the requirements of the Engineering Foundations certificate PLUS two “bridging courses”: ENGR 1100 and ENGR 1180. Furthermore, you must choose the CMNS 1135 course within the certificate.
Step 1
Check entry requirements
Students transferring from other institutions must have at least 24 transferable credits including:
