Program details
Overview
The Water and Wastewater Technology Diploma allows you to develop marketable expertise in the operation and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment, distribution, re-use and disposal facilities and in monitoring source water quality. The Water and Wastewater Technology diploma encompasses chemistry, microbiology, mathematics, mechanical and electrical systems, instrumentation and treatment technologies as they are applied in the increasingly vital water industry. After completing the diploma, you can apply your courses towards a TRU Bachelor of Technology, Bachelor of Technology: Trades and Technology Leadership or Bachelor of General Studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic entry requires Grade 12 completion or equivalent. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency with an IELTS score of 6.5 and no band below 6.0, as stated on the program's own page; Thompson Rivers University's general admission page sets the equivalent undergraduate-diploma threshold at TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20. Applications open October 1 for the following September intake, and late applications are considered if space permits. The first year of study is shared with the Water and Wastewater Utilities Certificate, with those courses counting toward either the one-year certificate or the two-year diploma. No portfolio, interview, work-experience, age, or criminal-record conditions are published for this program.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
