The Faculty of Applied Science at UBC offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science degree (B.A.Sc.) in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Computer, Geological, Mechanical, Metals and Materials, Mining and Mineral Process Engineering, and Engineering Physics. The first year of engineering studies is common to all disciplines. A co-operative education option is available to students in the UBC Engineering program. Entry into the co-op program is competitive, but many UCC transfer students have successfully pursued this option.
UCC offers the equivalent of UBC's first year Engineering, second year Electrical Engineering, and second year Computer Engineering programs.
Students may enter the UCC first year Engineering transfer program directly from Grade 12 or following a year or more of Science studies.
Students with suitably high standings in English 12, Principles of Mathematics 12, Physics 12, and Chemistry 11 (Chemistry 12 preferred), can be admitted directly from secondary school into the first year engineering transfer program.
Although not mandatory, the following will be very beneficial for high school students considering Engineering studies:
On successful completion of first year engineering at UCC, students are eligible to apply for transfer to UBC into a second year speciality or to apply for admission to the UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering Year 2 transfer program.
Students having successfully completed a year or more of science studies may also apply for admission into a UBC Engineering program or the UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering Year 2 transfer program.
The UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering Transfer Year 2 program has been designed in partnership with UBC. The program allows students to complete year 2 of the UBC Electrical - Computer Engineering program at UCC. On completion with sufficiently high standings, students are eligible to advance into year 3 of the Electrical or Computer Engineering program at UBC. By applying for UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering Transfer Year 2, students are in effect applying to pursue an Electrical or Computer Engineering degree at UBC.
To be considered for the UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering Year 2 program, applicants will have previously completed first year Engineering studies, or at least one year of Science studies. Successful applicants will have met admission criteria similar to those applied by UBC for to their own Electrical - Computer Engineering year 2 program.
To be considered for transfer into a second year Engineering speciality at UBC or the UCC second year Electrical-Computer Engineering Transfer program, students must have completed first year Engineering with a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 or at least one year of sciences with a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. Normally, GPA is calculated over all attempts (including failures) in all courses.
Admissions to second year UBC Engineering programs and the UCC Electrical-Computer Engineering year 2 are highly competitive. The chances of being accepted increase with a student's academic standing. Simply meeting minimum GPA requirements does not guarantee admission to the desired engineering speciality.
