Camosun’s Engineering Bridge programs are for technology diploma grads who want to continue with third-year studies at the University of Victoria (UVic) or the University of British Columbia (UBC) to finish an engineering degree. The Engineering Bridge programs at Camosun are unique and recognized across Canada as an excellent transition from a technology diploma to an Engineering degree at UVic. Although the Bridge programs are designed for graduates of technology diplomas delivered through Camosun, all graduates from accredited Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB) programs are welcome to apply.
