The only program of its kind

The engineering bridge programs at Camosun are unique and recognized across Canada as an excellent transition from a technology diploma to an Engineering degree (UVic) or Applied Science degree (UBC).

Although the Bridge programs are designed for graduates of technology diplomas delivered through Camosun,听all graduates from accredited听听programs are welcome to apply.

The Mining Engineering Bridge program is offered by Camosun with the full support and cooperation of the听听(UBC V).

Mining engineering is concerned with the optimal exploitation of mineral resources while minimizing environmental impact. The discipline requires a broad knowledge of engineering and scientific subjects. The Bridge to UBC study option is offered from September through April. You'll start your third year of the Bachelor of Applied Science degree program at UBC Vancouver in September.

Once accepted into UBC you can participate in the Co-operative Education option. If you decide to participate in Co-op, some work terms from your technology diploma may be transferable between institutions. There is an optional internship work term available in the Bridge that is transferable.

Note: To be eligible to participate in a Co-op or Internship term, you need to successfully complete all first-term courses with a minimum GPA of 3.0, be fully enrolled in the academic term immediately preceding the work term with a minimum of nine (9) credits, and complete the workshop series CDEV WPS prior to your first work term.
