Offered by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, BA/BS in Chemical Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 48,594 per year (CAD 11,202 per year for local students).
The Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering combines chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and engineering design to teach students about chemical processes, fluid flow, reaction engineering, and thermodynamics. Coursework includes a focus on green engineering and process and product design, and students can pursue an optional Certificate in Biomedical Engineering alongside the degree. The program is delivered in person at the Sexton Campus in Halifax, with design-based learning starting in the first year and culminating in a senior capstone project completed with industry clients. All students follow a common first-year engineering foundation before moving into chemical engineering-specific coursework. The degree is offered as a four-year standard program or a five-year co-op stream comprising three paid work terms of about four months each. The program suits students interested in chemical processes and materials who want an engineering degree applicable across energy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, manufacturing, and environmental protection sectors, combined with the option of an optional biomedical specialization and structured work-integrated learning through co-op.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Dalhousie admits Chemical Engineering students through its common first-year engineering entry. The programme page sets a minimum overall average of 70% and requires Academic English 12, Pre-calculus Math 12, Academic Chemistry 12, Academic Physics 12, plus one further academic Grade 12 subject; a separate course-equivalency page lists which subjects from other provinces or curricula satisfy each requirement. The page notes that admission to many Dalhousie programs is competitive, so meeting the 70% minimum does not guarantee a seat and the university may apply a higher effective average. No programme-specific language-test score is published; international applicants are subject to Dalhousie's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, unless exempt. No portfolio, interview or other non-academic condition is stated. Entry is offered in September and January.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline. Dalhousie has not yet published September 2027 entry dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
