Data Engineering, Honours Bachelor of Computer Science (Degree Completion) at Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada is a bachelor's degree in Data Science & Analytics programme. The programme is 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).
Data engineering is one of several specializations offered within this degree, introduced in a first year that also covers programming, networks, mathematics, scripting and database modelling across all specialization options. Students specializing in data engineering take eight further courses in that area, within a curriculum where core courses make up more than 80 percent of the content. A four-month internship or paid co-op placement of up to sixteen months is available between the third and fourth years, as is the chance to contribute to applied research projects. In the fourth year, students choose between a capstone project tackling a real problem, which may involve an external client, or a thesis aimed at graduate study. Shared core courses with the Mobile Computing specialization allow a switch between the two after two years with just two more courses, and the degree is accepted for graduate admission across Canada and internationally.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: This is the Degree Completion pathway for diploma holders entering the Data Engineering concentration in Year 2 or 3, not the standard four-year route. Sheridan requires graduation from an eligible Ontario college diploma related to computer studies with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B, 70%); the number of bridging or 'reach-back' courses required varies with the applicant's prior program, typically two or three courses. Standard Year 1 entrants instead need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with Grade 12 English (ENG4U), Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), four further Grade 12 U/M subjects and a minimum 65% overall average. 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
Start Date:September
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.
