Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in process engineering, delivered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science on the St. John's campus. It follows the standard five-year structure used across Memorial's engineering degrees, with the common Engineering One year followed by four years in the process major, and includes a mandatory co-operative education component providing up to two years of engineering work experience before graduation. The curriculum focuses on the design, optimization, and operation of processes that convert raw substances through biological, chemical, and physical transformations, with emphasis on environmentally conscious engineering and resource conservation. It draws on applications across industries such as oil and gas, mineral processing, food production, and pharmaceuticals. The program suits students aiming for careers as process engineers, biochemical engineers, engineering consultants, pharmaceutical engineers, process design specialists, or safety and control engineers, with the program noting that some of these career paths call for further graduate study, professional exams, or additional experiential learning 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 Process 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.
