Bachelor of Building Science (Entry Level 05) (Honours)
The four-year Bachelor of Building Science (Honours) degree program is designed to give you a broad knowledge base of building environments. It covers all facets of building design, construction, human comfort, and sustainability. It is Canada`s only Bachelor of Building Science program.
If you have an Advanced Diploma from Architectural Technology or Civil Engineering Technology you may be eligible to enter the third year of the program. See Application/Admission Information for details.
