Offered by University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, BA/BS in Computer Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 59,383 per year (CAD 12,269 per year for local students).
Computer Engineering is a Bachelor of Science in Engineering offered through the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, requiring 142 credit units over four years. Students complete a first-year core shared with other engineering disciplines before specializing, and the program shares general electrical engineering, analog and digital electronics, signal processing, and communications training with Electrical Engineering while adding coursework specific to computer engineering in years three and four. In the third year, students choose a focus area in either Computer Software or Digital Signal Processing with Applications. The program emphasizes the combined software and hardware design of digital systems, with particular attention to embedded systems. A capstone design project in the final year, together with electives in science, complementary studies, and senior humanities or social sciences, completes the degree. The program suits students interested in both the software and hardware sides of computing who want to work on embedded systems design and digital system integration. Graduates are positioned for careers in embedded systems and hardware-software co-design roles across the technology and engineering sectors.

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.
