Program details

Overview

The advanced diploma centres on planning, designing and constructing infrastructure such as roads, bridges, tunnels, subdivisions, buildings and municipal services. Students learn how to keep projects both functional and economical while working across these different categories of civil infrastructure.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission is competitive on academic achievement and requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, including Grade 12 English (C or U) and either Grade 11 Math (M or U) or Grade 12 Math (C or U); meeting these minimums does not guarantee a seat, since George Brown may require higher grades. Applicants 19 or older with no OSSD may apply as mature students and either sit the George Brown Admissions Assessment in English and math or complete the equivalent upgrading credits. This programme page does not restate a language-test table, but George Brown's institution-wide English Proficiency requirement applies to every applicant whose prior study was not in English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall (minimum 5.5 per band), TOEFL iBT 80 (minimum 20 per skill), PTE Academic 54 (minimum 50 per skill), CAEL 60 overall, or Duolingo 110 (minimum 90 production).

Start Date: Intakes: September (Fall) and January (Winter). In the published 2026-27 cycle, Fall 2026 classes begin 8 September 2026; Winter 2027 classes begin 11 January 2027.

Application Deadline: No program-specific application deadline is published; George Brown follows the standard Ontario college cycle. DOMESTIC applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the application opens on 26 September 2026, colleges may release offers from 1 November 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027 (applications completed by that date are ranked together, and later ones are then handled first-come, first-served while seats remain), and an offer for a September start must be accepted by 1 May 2027, with the tuition deposit due in June 2027. INTERNATIONAL applicants have no fixed deadline: they apply directly to George Brown and are assessed selectively on a rolling basis until the intake is full, so a program can close early.
