Program details

Overview

The Engineering (Year 1) University Transfer Program is a start to your engineering degree at TRU by taking one year of general study courses that are common to all engineering disciplines. This program transfers into the second year of a full engineering program at either the University of British Columbia or the University of Victoria, or stay at TRU to complete the BEng in Software Engineering Program. Use mathematics, sciences, and their applications to solve real-life problems.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Engineering Transfer Certificate admits Grade 12 graduates (or equivalent) with Pre-calculus 12, Physics 12, and English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 each at a B (73%) minimum, and Chemistry 11 at a B (73%) minimum, with Chemistry 12 recommended. Students still completing Grade 12 may instead qualify on Grade 11 standing: Pre-calculus 11 at A- (80%) or Pre-calculus 12 at B; Physics 11 at A- (80%) or Physics 12 at B; Chemistry 11 at A- (80%) or Chemistry 12 at B; and Grade 11 English composition/literary studies at A- (80%) or the Grade 12 English course at B. No standardised international English test score is set on the programme page; Thompson Rivers University's English language proficiency requirements set IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20, for direct entry into academic programmes.

Application Details

Start Date: September (Fall) intake only, as listed on TRU's program page.
Application Deadline: No separate date is published for this program, so TRU's general undergraduate deadlines apply. Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents): 1 May for the September (Fall) intake. International applicants are given the same date for the September intake on TRU's separate international deadline page: 1 May. Applications for most programs open 1 October. A deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day, and TRU keeps accepting applications after the date where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early.
