Program details
Overview
This second degree is intended for students who already hold a prior degree in a field such as physics, mathematics, or computing science, or a related discipline. After gaining admission as a non-degree student, applicants proceed to apply directly for entry into the School of Engineering Science. Study areas include telecommunications, systems, multimedia, biomedical engineering, robotics, computer engineering and microelectronics, preparing graduates for careers in engineering.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.50 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission to Engineering Science as a second degree requires applicants to have already completed a previous bachelor's degree, provided it is not in electrical/computer engineering or a closely related field. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required, with fewer than six repeated courses, and admission is competitive on an Engineering-Related GPA (ERGPA) of at least 2.5, calculated from at least three prerequisite courses drawn from SFU's approved Mathematics list (e.g. MATH 151/150, 152, 232/240, 251, MACM 101 or 201), Computing list (e.g. CMPT 128, 135, 125+127, 225 or 275, or ENSC 151) and Physics list (e.g. PHYS 120/140, 121/141, 221, 321 or 365). All prerequisite courses must be completed before applying, and no credit from the previous degree transfers into the second-degree program. No language-test scores are stated; because entry requires a completed prior degree, English-language proficiency follows SFU's general scale, e.g. IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0.
Application Details
Start Date:Three intakes a year: Fall (September–December), Spring (January–April) and Summer (May–August). First day of classes is 5 January 2027 for Spring 2027, 10 May 2027 for Summer 2027 and 7 September 2027 for Fall 2027.
Application Deadline:Undergraduate applications are submitted on EducationPlannerBC and SFU publishes one set of dates per applicant type — high-school or college/university transfer — with no separate international deadline; document deadlines are stated as applying to all applicants. Fall 2027 entry: applications open 1 October 2026 and close 31 January 2027 for high-school applicants, while transfer applications open 1 March 2027 and close 15 April 2027. Spring 2027 entry: open 1 July 2026, closes 15 September 2026. Summer 2027 entry: open 1 December 2026, closes 15 January 2027. Admission documents are due 28 February 2027 (Fall, high-school applicants), 15 May 2027 (Fall, transfer applicants), 1 October 2026 (Spring) and 1 February 2027 (Summer); B.C. high-school applicants must also file the Student Transcript Service form by 31 January. Decisions are released on a rolling basis — early Fall offers from mid-November 2026 to January 2027, standard offers from January to late April, transfer decisions from mid-March to late June — and most Fall entrants must accept by 1 May. These are SFU's university-wide undergraduate dates, not a deadline set by this program; a few programs admit in one term only, so confirm on the program's own SFU page.
