Offered by McGill University in Montréal, Canada, BA/BS in Computer Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering programme. Tuition is CAD 104 per credit for local students.
This is McGill's Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering, offered through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The program provides depth and breadth in both the hardware and software aspects of computers, with students exposed to theoretical and practical work in well-equipped laboratories. The page states the program is designed to meet industry demand for engineers with a strong background in modern computer technology, while also providing a foundation for graduate study across the field of computer engineering. As in the electrical engineering program in the same department, students take general complementary courses in social sciences, management studies, and humanities alongside technical complementary courses, allowing them to pursue interests such as psychology, economics, management, or political science. The page does not describe co-op placements, a capstone project, or a specific delivery format beyond the program's base in the Faculty of Engineering. It suits students who want combined hardware-and-software engineering training with hands-on laboratory work, whether their goal is industry practice or continued graduate study in computer engineering.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This McGill program page carries no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, and to enter you apply to the Faculty of Engineering, confirmed on McGill's own Computer Engineering admissions listing. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly from their DEC into the program, following the required Science/Engineering-stream prerequisite courses; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of the six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and are normally admitted with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
