Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Chemical Engineering major, at the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering, delivered on campus. Chemical engineers are described as converting raw materials into valuable products or separating complex mixtures into their component parts, making it one of the more broadly based engineering disciplines. All engineering students share a common first year of ten courses in mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications, and design before applying to a specific engineering program. The accredited program includes designing a complete industrial process for a given product, along with collaborative teamwork and study-abroad opportunities. Paid work placements of 12 to 16 months are available through the Engineering Career Centre. The program suits students interested in industrial process design and in engineering that spans biomedicine, scientific research, and biotechnology. Career paths mentioned include stable, in-demand roles due to constant manufacturing needs, and the degree also serves as a stepping-stone to graduate study or to professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry is through the Schulich School of Engineering's common first year, not directly into Chemical Engineering: students complete 10 common first-year courses and are then guaranteed their choice of major. Required courses for the common first year (Alberta high school): English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, Mathematics 31, Chemistry 30, and Physics 30 (Biology 30 may be used instead if a Physics-based offer cannot be made, with an added required Bioengineering Institute summer course). Estimated competitive admission average for the common first year: Low 90s. Equivalent IB, AP or other international curricula are accepted via the university's requirements tool.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
