Program details

Overview

Engineering Physics is a Bachelor of Science in Engineering offered through the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, requiring 149 credit units over four years, beginning with a common first-year engineering core. The program is positioned as a bridge between pure and applied science, emphasizing scientific foundations, mathematical rigor, and engineering application across areas such as optics, mechanics, electronics, instrumentation, and modelling. In year four, students complete a physics thesis component and choose a capstone project, alongside complementary studies and senior humanities or social science electives. Double-degree options are available in combination with Computer Science or Mathematics programs. The program suits students with strong interests in physics who want an engineering credential that keeps a heavier grounding in fundamental science than other engineering disciplines, and who may be considering graduate study afterward. Graduates are positioned for postgraduate study in physics, engineering physics, or other engineering fields, as well as technical roles that draw on both physics and engineering training.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Engineering Physics is entered through the College of Engineering's common first year: all students admitted to Engineering complete a shared first-year curriculum before declaring Engineering Physics and competing for a place in the upper-year program. For direct entry from a Saskatchewan high school the college requires Chemistry 30, Physics 30 and Pre-Calculus 30, each with a minimum grade of 70%, plus a regular-admission average of 80% (90% qualifies for early admission), calculated from the required Grade 12 subjects. English proficiency is USask's general undergraduate Language Proficiency Regulations (admissions.usask.ca/requirements/english-language-proficiency.php): IELTS Academic 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 86/19, PTE Academic 63/59, Duolingo 120/100, CAEL 70/60. Requirements differ for applicants from other provinces or countries, and the college designates seats for verified Indigenous applicants. This is a Fall (September) intake only.

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.
