Program details

Overview

This Bachelor of Engineering in Building Engineering, offered by Concordia's Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, bridges architecture and engineering by integrating civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and lighting systems into its coursework, with a specialization available in Building Energy and Environment. Full-time study takes a minimum of four to five years (120-150 credits), with classes on the Sir George Williams campus in Montreal and entry in the Fall or Winter term. A cooperative education option lets students complete paid work terms of 12 to 16 weeks, with past placements including renovation inspection, transit station planning, AutoCAD drafting, and energy audits. An integrated path allows up to 16 credits to count toward both the Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering, shortening the route to graduate study. The program welcomes a range of applicants, including First Nations, Inuit, and Metis students who may enter through the Indigenous Bridging Program without meeting the conventional admission requirements. It suits students interested in the design and performance of buildings across multiple engineering disciplines.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Quebec CEGEP requires a DEC with an overall average of 23, 23 in mathematics and 22 in physics, covering Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Linear Algebra, Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism plus General Chemistry 1; holders of an eligible technical DEC (221.A0, 221.B0 or 221.C0) may qualify without these prerequisites, though the 23/22 minimums apply if the courses were taken. Ontario and other Canadian high-school applicants need a C+ overall average with B- in a Grade 12 pre-calculus or calculus course and B- in Grade 12 physics; IB Diploma applicants need 26 points overall with 4 HL or SL mathematics and 4 in physics. Concordia's institution-wide English proficiency minimum applies unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 70, or Duolingo 105. Fall applications are due March 1 (February 1 for U.S./international) and Winter applications November 1 (August 1 for U.S./international).

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants, including Quebec CEGEP graduates, apply directly to Concordia: for Fall 2027 entry (September start) the application deadline is 1 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry (January start) it is 1 November 2026; not all programs admit in Winter. Concordia sets the same formal deadlines for U.S. and international applicants but strongly recommends applying earlier - by 1 February 2027 for Fall or 1 August 2026 for Winter - to allow time for immigration processing. Late applications are considered if space remains, and Concordia does not publish a separate application-opening date. Graduate programs, including the Executive MBA, set their own per-program deadlines rather than following this university-wide undergraduate date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
