General Description
VIU offers the first two years of the Electrical and Computer B.Eng. Program and the first year of the Mechanical B.Eng. Program offered at the University of Victoria (UVic). Acceptance into 2nd year is based on students achieving a GPA in the first year as set by UVic. After completion of 2nd year, students will transfer directly into a Co-op term administered by UVic. VIU also offers the first year transfer of the B.Appl.Sci. program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and part of the first year program offered at Simon Fraser University (SFU). Students who wish to transfer to Engineering programs offered at other universities need to check the program requirements of the receiving institution to determine the required courses. The programs for transfer to UVic and UBC are given below.
Note: Engineering transfer requirements regularly undergo change. For further information, it is important to contact VIU’s Physics/Engineering department, as well as a VIU Advisor 250-740-6410, and to refer to the university calendars.
