Advanced Diploma in Mining Engineering Bridge to UBC

Put your Technology diploma to work with our engineering bridge programs. Camosun can prepare you for a career in Engineering and set you up for direct entry into your third year at UVic or UBC. Camosun’s Engineering Bridge programs are for technology diploma grads who want to continue with third-year studies at UVic or UBC to finish an engineering degree. This is your next step to becoming a Professional Engineer. Industry professionals and educators agree—the combination of a Technology diploma and Engineering degree creates the most desirable type of engineer. You will gain both hands-on experience with practical applied skills and an excellent knowledge of advanced engineering courses. 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).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.
