General Description
VIU offers the first year of the Electrical and Computer B.Eng. program and the first year of the Mechanical B.Eng. program offered at the University of Victoria (UVic). VIU also offers the first year transfer of the B.Appl.Sci. program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and part of the first year program offered at Simon Fraser University (SFU). Students who wish to transfer to Engineering programs offered at other universities need to check the program requirements of the receiving institution to determine the required courses. The programs for transfer to UVic and UBC are given below.
Note: Engineering transfer requirements regularly undergo change. For further information, it is important to contact VIU’s Physics/Engineering department, as well as a VIU Advisor at 1–888–920–2221 local 6410, and to refer to the university calendars.
Start Date and Application Deadline
Programs start in September and applications are accepted between November 15 and March 31. For further information regarding late applications and contact information check the Program Availability List.
