BA/BS in Electrical Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering programme offered by Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Canada. The programme runs for 5 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 22,500 per year (CAD 6,750 per year for local students).
This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in electrical engineering, offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science on the St. John's campus. It follows Memorial's standard five-year engineering format, with the shared Engineering One year followed by four years in the electrical major, and includes a mandatory, integrated co-operative education component providing up to two years of practical work experience before graduation. The curriculum addresses the analysis, design, and manufacture of devices and systems involving electricity, including the transfer of electrical energy and information, through courses in hardware, electromagnetics, power systems, electric machines, communications, computer programming, and control systems. Design projects run throughout the program and culminate in a team capstone project in the final year. The program suits students aiming for careers such as electrical systems design engineer, communications engineer, electrical systems planning engineer, or control system designer, with some of these paths calling for further graduate study, experiential learning, or professional courses and exams beyond the undergraduate degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This programme page defers to the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science's own admission requirements rather than stating separate figures for the Electrical Engineering major. Entry is through the common Engineering One first year: the Faculty reviews grades in five Grade 12 courses (Pre-Calculus 3208, Advanced Mathematics 3200, Physics 3204, Chemistry 3202 and English Language Arts 3201), and grades above 80% in these courses are normally required for consideration; Newfoundland and Labrador applicants need Advanced Mathematics 3200 at a minimum of 75%, while out-of-province applicants need an equivalent Grade 12 advanced-mathematics course at 75% or better (IB Higher Level Mathematics 5, IB Standard Level Mathematics 4, or AP Calculus AB/BC 3 or higher are also accepted). Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Memorial's university-wide English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0 in Reading and Writing, or TOEFL iBT 83 overall with at least 20 in Reading and Writing.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
