Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng) through the Schulich School of Engineering, fully accredited. Students begin with a common first year of ten courses covering mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications, and design, including Computing for Engineers, Engineering Design and Communication, Linear Methods I, and Calculus for Engineers and Scientists, before proceeding into the electrical engineering specialization. Later coursework includes advanced-level projects in specialized research-and-design courses, alongside classroom instruction and tutorials. The program emphasizes collaborative learning, with students working together on projects with peers. Students can access engineering career advisors and a 12-to-16-month paid work placement through the Engineering Career Centre, along with study-abroad opportunities at international destinations. The program suits students interested in exploring electrical phenomena and technology innovation, with graduates going on to careers in communications, scientific research, and aerospace technology, or using the degree as a foundation for graduate studies or professional programs such as law, medicine, or veterinary medicine. Instruction is delivered on campus at the University of Calgary.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry is through the Schulich School of Engineering's common first year, not directly into Electrical 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.
