Program details
Overview
The Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage graduate certificate, offered through the University of Calgary's Advanced Engineering Practice Program, is a four-course credential completed over 16 months, with evening classes held on the university's Calgary campus to accommodate students who are also employed. The curriculum covers CCUS Principles, Technologies and Analysis; Subsurface Energy Engineering in a Low Carbon Future; Data Science and Machine Learning; and Life Cycle Assessment. Students gain access to a field research station operated by CMC in Newell County, Alberta, used for training in subsurface monitoring, CO2 injection, and site management. Admission is open to applicants who have already completed an engineering degree or an equivalent qualification. The certificate specifically aims to broaden participation among groups underrepresented in engineering graduate study, including women, Indigenous students, and students of colour. It suits engineers and geoscientists seeking focused, part-time graduate training in carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology alongside ongoing employment.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: This certificate falls under Schulich's Advanced Engineering Practice Program and its own page states only that admission is open to applicants who have previously completed an engineering degree or equivalent; for the fuller requirement set, the parent Advanced Engineering Practice program (of which the CCUS specialization is one stream) publishes a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale over the last two years of full-time study (at least 10 full-course equivalents or 60 units) of the undergraduate degree. Applicants who fall short but show significant life achievement may still be considered, sometimes after an in-person interview with the program director. Programme page's English language proficiency (ELP) section defers to the Faculty's ELP requirements in the Academic Calendar without publishing programme-specific scores, so the university-wide English Language Proficiency requirement from ucalgary.ca (IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 86 legacy scale, or Duolingo 120) is cited as the general reference per institution excerpt; exemptions apply after prior study in English per that page.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
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.
