This engineering degree transfer pathway allows students from UCSI University in Malaysia to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. The student can complete up to an equivalent of up to two academic years’ work at UCSI University in Malaysia and then transfer to The University of Manitoba for the remainder of their degree program.
The student transfers to The University of Manitoba upon successful completion of their courses at UCSI (must meet a minimum GPA of 2.7 in order to accepted) and the courses taken at UCSI are transferred to UofM once they have been accepted. The program is open to students from Malaysia as well as other countries in East Asia and Africa where UCSI Univesity recruits. Sudents can transfer to UM anytime during their studies as long as they complete a minimum of eight year one courses at UCSI.
As a university, UCSI has autonomy with their courses and U of M assesses each course periodically for equivalency to courses taught at U of M. Additionally, UM makes yearly visits to UCSI to assess the quality of education and meet wth administrators, instructors and students in the program
The current pathway applies to all of the programs in the Faculty of Engineering:
Civil Engineering
Biosystems Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Computer Engineering
Mechanical Engineeering
Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Option
Manufacturing Engineering
This web site describes the pathway and the courses that the students can take at UCSI to transfer successfully to the University of Manitoba. Under this pathway students can transfer to the University after completing a minimum of eight first year courses with a minimum grade of C and a minimum overall GPA of 2.7. They must also meet the University’s English Language Proficiency Requirement.
The maximum number of courses that can be transferred is from twenty to twenty-four depending on the program and which courses are offerred at UCSI. To obtain a University of Manitoba Degree at least 50% of the degree requirements must be completed at the University of Manitoba along with specific Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements. An equivalency matrix of the courses for each program can be found at the following links. The University of Manitoba is undergoing program modifications and students are advised to contact the pathway coodinator below with any enquiries.
