Data Engineering, Honours Bachelor of Computer Science is a bachelor's degree in Data Science & Analytics programme taught at Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 23,010 per year (CAD 8,488 per year for local students).
This degree offers a data engineering specialization among several computer science paths, following a first year that introduces programming, networks, mathematics, scripting, database modelling and each specialization option. Students focusing on data engineering complete eight courses in that field, set within a curriculum where core courses account for more than 80 percent of content. Opportunities between the third and fourth years include a four-month internship, a paid co-op of up to sixteen months, or support for applied research projects, and the fourth year ends with a choice between a capstone project, possibly involving an external client, or a thesis for those intending graduate study. Shared core courses with the Mobile Computing specialization mean switching between the two after two years takes only two further courses, and the degree holds recognition for graduate admission in Canada and internationally.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry to the Data Engineering concentration requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4U), Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U or equivalent) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U or equivalent), four other Grade 12 subjects at the U or M level, and a minimum 65% overall average; a Grade 12 science, Computer Science or Computer Engineering Technology credit is recommended but not required. Applicants may also enter with two semesters of equivalent postsecondary study completed at 65% or higher. Eligible applicants are ranked on the average of their six highest senior-level credits, including the required courses. Diploma holders can instead apply through a separate Degree Completion pathway into Year 2 or 3. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan's English Proficiency Requirement for degree, master's and graduate-certificate programmes: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 21, PTE Academic 60 with no section below 57, or Duolingo English Test 115 with no sub-score below 95.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
