At Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada, Game Engineering, Honours Bachelor of Computer Science is offered as a bachelor's degree in Digital Media & Game Development programme. 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 includes a game engineering specialization among its computer science tracks, following a first year that introduces programming, networks, mathematics, scripting, database modelling and each specialization option. Game engineering students then take eight courses specific to that field, in a curriculum where core courses form more than 80 percent of the content. Between the third and fourth years, students can take on a four-month internship, a paid co-op placement of up to sixteen months, or support for applied research projects. The degree concludes in the fourth year with a choice between a capstone project, possibly involving an external client, and a thesis aimed at future graduate study. Because of shared core courses with the Mobile Computing specialization, switching between the two after two years requires only two additional courses, and the degree carries recognition for graduate admission in Canada and abroad.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with English, Grade 12 (ENG4U), Mathematics Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), four additional Grade 12 U/M courses, and a minimum 65% overall average; two semesters of postsecondary education covering the required courses at 65% qualifies as an alternative. A Grade 12 science, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering Technology course is recommended. Selection ranks the average of an applicant's six highest senior-level credits, including the required courses. Sheridan's institution-wide English proficiency requirement for degree and graduate-certificate programs applies to applicants whose first language is not English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 21 (a redesigned iBT scale applies from 2026), PTE Academic 60 with no section below 57, Duolingo English Test 115 with no subscore below 95, or CAEL 70 with no section below 60.
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.
