Graduate Certificate in Advanced Engineering I

Deadlines for submission of complete applications are available on the Future Students website: https://grad.ucalgary.ca/future-students/explore-programs/graduate-certificates-advanced-engineering-practice.

In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies admission requirements and the Schulich School of Engineering requirements, all applicants require:

a) A BSc in a relevant discipline of Engineering or equivalent.

b) A minimum GPA of 3.00 (on the University of Calgary four-point system) calculated on the most recent 60 units (10.0 full course equivalents) of completed course work.

c) Holders of a BSc or equivalent degrees in Science, Medicine or Kinesiology, if accepted, may be required to take additional senior undergraduate engineering courses. These courses will not be counted for credit toward their graduate program. Holders of Bachelor’s degrees from disciplines other than Engineering, Science, Medicine or Kinesiology are required to complete a minimum of 30 units (5.0 full-course equivalents) undergraduate engineering courses with a minimum GPA of 3.00 on a four-point scale before admission.

d) Minimum of one year of work experience in engineering or a closely related field, or at least one year of internship under a professional engineer in an engineering company.

e) Resume or CV.

In exceptional circumstances, students who do not meet the entrance requirements (but have BSc degrees in the same or equivalent Engineering discipline and a GPA of at least 2.70) may be considered for admission after upgrading requirements have been met. Upgrading requirements include a minimum of 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) of coursework with a minimum grade of 3.00 on a 4.0-point scale in each course. At least 12 or 6 units (2.0 or 1.0 full-course equivalents) of these courses, respectively, must be at the graduate-level. Upgrading courses will be prescribed by the Associate Dean (Graduate Studies) or designate in those instances where they are required.
