Program details

Overview

Chemical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Engineering leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering focused on the research, design and development of chemical processes and equipment, with attention to reducing their environmental impact. Students begin with a common first year, described by the college as a redesigned curriculum built around ongoing assignments and quizzes and daily tutorials rather than being weighted toward final exams, before specializing in chemical engineering. Later coursework includes process engineering, chemical engineering thermodynamics, and a team-based plant design project in which students carry out a detailed process design. The program offers optional specialization options in bioprocessing, mineral processing and petroleum, along with certificates in professional communication or in engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, and includes a co-op internship program for students seeking work-integrated learning. The four-year, full-time program is based on the Saskatoon campus, with an option to begin the first year off-campus. It suits students aiming for engineering careers in sectors such as clean energy, pharmaceuticals, environmental services or petroleum, who want hands-on laboratory and design experience alongside their technical coursework.

English proficiency follows the University of Saskatchewan's general undergraduate standard: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 (minimum 19 per section; 4.5 overall with 4.0 per section on the new scale for tests from 21 January 2026), Duolingo English Test 120 (minimum 100 per subscore), PTE Academic 63 (minimum 59 per skill), or CAEL 70 (minimum 60 per skill), as set out on the university's English Language Proficiency page.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
