BA/BS in Electrical Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering programme offered by Western University in London, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 64,310 per year (CAD 12,539 per year for local students).
Electrical Engineering at Western University is an undergraduate degree following the Faculty of Engineering's Common First Year, covering a broad discipline that includes energy and power systems, information communication and transmission, control and automation systems, and biomedical engineering. Within the program, students can lean toward Information Communication and Transmission, covering wireless systems, communications system design, antennas, data networks, and digital signal processing, or toward Power Systems, covering conventional and alternative electric power generation and sustainable energy sources. Fourth-year technical electives let students concentrate further within their chosen area. Students interested in medical-device applications can add a concurrent Biomedical Engineering degree through the School of Biomedical Engineering, covering signal processing, imaging, and biomedical systems design. Combined-degree options also exist pairing electrical 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 in the Spencer Engineering Building on Western's main campus in London, Ontario. The breadth of the discipline and the fourth-year elective structure suit students who want to keep options open between power systems, communications, and biomedical applications before committing to a narrower specialization through elective choice.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Western's Electrical 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.
