Overview

Bachelor of Applied Science - Electrical Engineering

They make essential medical equipment, design wireless communications networks, and invent new ways to generate and conserve energy. 

Learn essential skills in electronics, circuit analysis, and electromagnetics, and after your first year, customize your program by taking specialized courses in nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, or renewable energy.

Electrical Engineering At the University of British Columbia consists of three eight-month academic sessions following first-year Engineering or a transfer program from first-year Science. 

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

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

You can select one of the following options: 

Biomedical Engineering, Nanotechnology & Microsystems, or Electrical Energy Systems, 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.
