Faculty or University Transfer
Admissions
The Faculty of Applied Science accepts students transferring from another Faculty at UBC and from other institutions. In either case, the students must apply for admission to the Faculty of Applied Science through UBC's Admissions Office. Whether a student is admitted depends on the average of the last 30 credits of university-transferable courses he or she has taken and on the average of the mathematics, chemistry and physics courses taken. The minimum admission average also depends on whether the student would be admitted into first- or second-year engineering.
A student will be admitted into second-year engineering if that student had successfully completed or had transfer credits for at least 27 credits of our first-year program. Students not meeting this criterion would be admitted into our first-year program.
A very limited number of students may be admitted directly into third-year engineering if they were transferring from the engineering program at another university. Students in that position must remember that at least half of the credits of the degree program must be completed while enrolled at UBC.
