Offered by University of Toronto in Toronto, 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 73,056 per year (CAD 19,094 per year for local students).
Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto is a Bachelor of Applied Science program offered as a Specialist within the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, delivered at the St. George campus. Computer engineering as a discipline is concerned with the design of computer hardware and the integration of hardware with software, spanning areas such as digital design, embedded systems, and computer architecture. The program includes a work-integrated learning option, allowing students to combine practical, workplace-based experience with their academic coursework rather than following a purely classroom-based path. The program page itself notes an emphasis on gaining real-world experience while shaping an individual path within engineering toward careers in industry, innovation, or research. The Specialist designation reflects a full undergraduate concentration in the field rather than a combined or elective-heavy course of study. This program suits students with a strong foundation in mathematics and physical sciences who are drawn to building the systems where hardware and software meet, within a single downtown Toronto campus setting.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario applicants apply through OUAC 101/105 for the Bachelor of Applied Science and need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six 4U/M courses: English (ENG4U/EAE4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Physics (SPH4U); the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used for admission. All applicants — Ontario, other-Canadian and international — must also complete the Engineering Student Profile, the Faculty's supplemental application. International applicants apply through the same OUAC system and are assessed on their own senior secondary credential (IB Diploma, GCE A Levels, AP/US diploma, national school-leaving certificates), presenting the equivalent five prerequisites. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit an accepted English proficiency test unless exempt — IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with 4.5 in Writing and 4.0 in Speaking for tests taken on or after 21 January 2026 — and all applicants complete a senior-level English course equivalent to ENG4U. The program page (future.utoronto.ca/program/computer-engineering) states no separate minimum average; admission to the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is competitive rather than threshold-based.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:University of Toronto uses one application deadline for domestic and international applicants alike for Fall 2027 entry: 15 January 2027 for most programmes, including Applied Science & Engineering, Arts & Science (St. George), the iSchool, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Nursing, Physician Assistant, and UTM and UTSC, with supporting documents also due 15 January 2027 (Engineering) or 1 February 2027 (most others). Medical Radiation Sciences has an extended 1 February 2027 deadline. A recommended early-application date of 7 November 2026 applies across the board, and several programmes (Rotman Commerce, Computer Science, Architecture, Kinesiology) require a supplementary component due 1 February 2027. Admission decisions are released from January through late May; UofT does not describe any programme as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
