Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering

The University of British Columbia offers first year engineering students a foundation year, effectively giving them a taste of everything before choosing where to specialize. Using the first year as a launch pad, learners can build the required skills in math, chemistry, physics, and more alongside others who share their interests.

After the first year, students can apply for a spot in biomedical, chemical, chemical and biological, computer, electrical, engineering physics, environmental, geological, integrated, manufacturing, materials, mechanical, or mining engineering.

UBC also offers students the chance to minor in another specialization, or get dual degrees, preparing students for anything that their career as an engineer can throw at them. Second and third year students may also pursue a paid co-op or research work experience.
