Overview

Bachelor of Applied Science - Computer Science

In Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, you’ll learn how to develop, design, and test software, computer networks, and protocols. 

Every automated device has a software or hardware engineer helping to create it – whether it is the systems that control our phones, cars, planes, or robots.

Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) consists of three eight-month academic sessions either following first-year Engineering or following a transfer program from first-year Science. 

The second year is common to both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering

Two educational streams are offered in the second year: the project-integrated program (on a trial basis), which integrates electrical and computer engineering principles with project work, and the traditional integrated learning method. 

Some undergraduate curriculum changes will emphasize laboratory work and engineering design without detracting from the program’s strong analytical base. 

You can select an option in Software Engineering and a Minor in Honours Mathematics.

Duolingo English Test: Overall: 125


If you have a strong record of academic achievement but do not yet meet the UBC English language requirement. 

In that case, you may be eligible for the Conditional Admission Program, which offers English language preparation leading to an undergraduate degree program on UBC’s Vancouver campus for bachelor degree programs in all faculties.

Once accepted to the Conditional Admission Program, you must register for the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program. 

To earn the Certificate of English Language, you will need to successfully complete two courses, EAP 600 and EAP 650, to meet the UBC English Language Admission Standard.

EAP Program options

  • Two 8-week sessions will begin in January, May, or August/September. One session will cover EAP 600, and the other EAP 650.
  • One 8-week accelerated session is scheduled to begin in July and finish in August/September. This session covers both EAP 600 and EAP 650.
