Curriculum for Biomedical Engineering Degree

First year courses

Please refer to the UVic Calendar for more information about the first year engineering standard and immersion year schedules.

Important: Some required first-year courses are only offered one time per year. You must successfully complete them before moving into the second year of your program. These courses are: ENGR 110 (traditionally offered in the fall), ENGR 120 (traditionally offered in the spring) and ENGR 141 (traditionally offered in the spring).

Disclaimer: You are responsible for ensuring that all degree requirements have been satisfied as outlined in the University of Victoria Calendar. Any errors or omissions on this site do not absolve you from having to complete all of the program requirements.
