Program details

Overview

Delivered in cooperation with the University of Victoria, the bridging diploma targets holders of a recognised civil engineering technology diploma, or an equivalent qualification in a closely related field, aiming to raise their mathematics, science and related engineering knowledge to the level required for direct entry into the third year of the Applied Science engineering programme at UVic.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 5.00 / 9.0
Admission Requirements: This advanced diploma is a bridge into third-year Engineering at UVic, so entry runs on a diploma, not a Grade 12, base. Applicants need a Diploma in Civil, Municipal, Environmental or Structural Engineering Technology, TAC-accredited, completed within the last five years with a minimum cumulative GPA of 5.0 (B) and no individual course grade below C; diplomas completed more than five years ago are accepted with the same GPA if paired with a Letter of Intent covering work experience or professional development since graduation, and diplomas in another closely related discipline are accepted if approved by the Engineering Bridge Coordinator. No IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL score is published. All high school and post-secondary transcripts must be submitted regardless of relevance. Selection runs GPA ranking first, then joint college-university review; the next cohort's application window is 15 January to 1 June 2026, with documents due 15 June 2026.

Application Details

Start Date: One start a year, in January (Winter term).
Application Deadline: Competitive-entry bridge to UVic with its own fixed dates, not the college-wide schedule. Camosun's competitive-entry table gives the recurring window as 15 January to 1 June with all documents in by 15 June. The most recently published cycle, for the Winter 2027 intake, ran 15 January to 1 June 2026 with documents due 15 June 2026, so applications for a January start close in the June roughly seven months beforehand — check the programme page for the exact dates of your intake. Applicants are ranked on the GPA of their technology diploma at a joint meeting between Camosun and the receiving university, and the university makes the final call. Camosun's international deadline page states that the eight-month engineering bridge programmes each set their own dates rather than following the general international deadlines, so international applicants should work from the programme page and confirm with International Admissions. Domestic and international applicants both apply online through EducationPlannerBC (apply.educationplannerbc.ca/camosun).
