Requirements
Admission Requirements: BC/Yukon secondary applicants (rules for Fall 2026 entry onwards): graduate from high school carrying at least five approved academic Grade 12 courses, score 70% or better in Language Arts 11 / English 12 or equivalent, and clear SFU's English language requirement and its Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirement (60% or C in an approved Grade 11 or 12 math course, or an accepted IB / A-level / GCSE / transferable equivalent). Approved AP or IB courses may stand in for the required courses. Program prerequisites — Grade 11: no specific courses are required. Grade 12: English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12; Chemistry 12 and Physics 12; and either Pre-Calculus 12 or Calculus 12.
International secondary applicants: graduate from a university-preparatory stream at a senior high school, meet the same English language and quantitative requirements, and present senior-level Math, senior-level Chemistry and senior-level Physics. The admission average is taken from final-year results and SFU publishes country-by-country equivalencies; applicants short of direct entry can route through Fraser International College. Admission is competitive and files are re-read as new marks arrive, so meeting the published minimums does not by itself secure a place.
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.
