Engineering Transfer Program (First-Year)

About this programme

The Engineering Common Core certificate is the first year of a Bachelor of Applied Science (Engineering) degree program. Upon successful completion of the program within one academic year, students are eligible to graduate with an Engineering Common Core certificate and may then complete their degree at the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, or other universities. Students transferring to UBC, UVic, or other universities from the UFV program with the minimum required GPA may be admitted to their second-year program. Once admitted, all students, regardless of their first-year institution, then compete for seats in different specialties based on their GPA; popular specialties have higher GPA requirements than the entrance GPA. The Engineering Common Core certificate requirements match UBC requirements for preferred admission, but the certificate is not a requirement for admission to an Applied Science (Engineering) program Note: Students may also present English 12, English Literature 12, AP English, IB English A (standard level or higher level), or out-of-province equivalent. Students offered conditional admission will have their files reviewed after receipt of final grades. Those falling below the completive minimum established for that year will be offered a place in an alternate program, such as the Bachelor of Science , provided they meet the entrance requirements for that program. Applicants must provide an email address and are expected to check their email regularly (usually starting in February). Students must respond to information sent
