Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng) through the Schulich School of Engineering, accredited by both the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and the Canadian Board of Examiners for Professional Surveyors. The program covers the acquisition, modelling, analysis, and management of spatial data, with coursework spanning coordinate systems, geodesy, remote sensing, geospatial information systems, satellite positioning, hydrographic surveying, digital imaging, land use planning, environmental modelling, and wireless location. Students complete a common first year before specializing in geomatics. Students holding an approved diploma in geomatics engineering technology can complete the BSc in Geomatics Engineering in three years through a polytechnic pathway. The Engineering Career Centre offers career advising and a 12-to-16-month paid internship placement, along with study-abroad opportunities. The program suits students who are strong in math and physics and interested in spatial technology, which the page describes as one of the fastest-growing information technology fields. 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 Geomatics 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.
