Program details
Overview
Civil Engineering at Western University is an undergraduate degree offered through the Faculty of Engineering after students complete the Common First Year shared across engineering disciplines. From third year, students choose one of three options: Structural Engineering, covering structural theory and design, reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel design, structural dynamics, finite element design, soil mechanics, and related professional topics such as engineering ethics and law; Environmental Engineering, addressing climate adaptation, environmental restoration, and water management; and International Development, which pairs either the structural or environmental stream with community-focused coursework, including a four-month Summer Community Development Placement and Design Project that can take place in developing countries or in under-served communities within Canada. Combined-degree options are also available pairing civil engineering with Ivey's HBA, with Law, or with more than fifty major modules across Science, Music, Social Science, or Arts and Humanities. Teaching is based on Western's main campus in London, Ontario. The International Development option in particular suits students who want applied, community-based engineering experience abroad or domestically, while the Structural and Environmental options suit students aiming toward more conventional infrastructure or environmental-engineering career paths.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Western's Civil Engineering page states no separate Grade 12 entry requirements of its own: students first gain admission to Western Engineering's shared Common First Year and choose this option for year three. Ontario applicants to Common First Year need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six Grade 12 U/M courses, including English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), admitted competitively on the top-six average rather than a fixed cut-off. To progress from first year into this option, students must additionally achieve a Year 1 Weighted Average greater than 60%, per the Faculty's own progression page. International applicants must also meet Western's institution-wide proof-of-English-proficiency policy: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 83 with no section below 20 (before January 21, 2026), among other accepted tests, unless exempt.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Western applies through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, which opens for Fall 2027 entry in late September 2026; Western's own equal-consideration deadline for full-time undergraduate study is 15 January 2027, the same date used for domestic (OUAC 101/105) and international applicants alike, since Western publishes no separate international closing date. Several named programmes carry their own earlier deadlines within the cycle: Medicine (MD) closes 1 October 2026, Law (JD) and Dentistry (DDS) close 1 November 2026, Education (BEd) closes 2 November 2026, and Western Integrated Science closes in early April 2027. Students already enrolled in an Ontario high school cannot be required to respond to an offer before 1 June 2027. Admission is not rolling: applicants are assessed against these published deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
