Program details

Overview

This diploma delivers a cohort-based suite of courses that exposes students to a wide spread of disciplines across the construction design field. Because students take four courses in each of four core disciplines across four semesters, key concepts are reinforced and a sufficient depth of knowledge is built, so that graduates can generally begin working in the field with little or no further training from employers. Additional courses in math and communications round out the overall education.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to this on-campus Architectural and Engineering Technology Diploma requires Grade 12 (or equivalent) or mature-student status, plus Foundations of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 11 at a minimum C+, Physics 11 (no minimum grade published), and English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 73%, with ESAL 0570/0580 or ENGL 0600/0601 accepted as English-course equivalents. The page separately links to TRU's Canadian Secondary School Course Equivalents page for applicants from other provinces, and advises that applicants whose math or physics prerequisites are more than five years old, or whose skills are weak, should take refresher courses before applying. International applicants otherwise meet English through TRU's published direct-entry minimums of IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20). No GPA figure, portfolio, or interview condition is stated on the program page.

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.
