Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering covers the design of buildings and bridges, treatment of water, wastewater and solid waste, foundations, earthworks and river bank protection, transportation planning, roads and pavement, hydraulic structures such as sewers, canals and spillways, and surface and ground water management. The program runs four to five years and includes laboratory work in mechanics, materials testing, hydraulics, geotechnical, and environmental engineering, culminating in a Capstone Design Project; students may choose up to five technical electives, including an environmental specialization. A Co-op/IIP option adds three to four work terms totalling twelve to sixteen months of paid engineering work experience. Direct entry from Manitoba high school requires an 80% average with minimums in English, Pre-Calculus Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, plus completion of eight preliminary-year engineering courses; advanced entry is available with 24 or more post-secondary credit hours. Graduates are eligible to pursue professional engineer licensure in Canada. Delivered full-time at the Fort Garry campus, the program suits students aiming for roles as engineering designers or consultants with government agencies, construction firms, or the oil and gas sector, including international development work.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission is first to the Price Faculty of Engineering's Preliminary Engineering Program, not directly to Civil Engineering. Direct Entry from high school requires Manitoba high school graduation with five full Grade 12 credits (S, G, or U) and a minimum 80% average over English 40S, Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, Chemistry 40S, and Physics 40S, with no less than 70% in each; admission is competitive and higher averages may be required if eligible applicants exceed available spaces. Progression from the preliminary year requires at least 8 of the 12 Preliminary Engineering courses completed with a minimum grade of C in each and a minimum Adjusted GPA (AGPA) of 2.0. Students choose the Civil Engineering discipline after completing the required preliminary coursework; the university mathematics requirement for Engineering is met by MATH 1510 or MATH 1710.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
