Associated University Program
Begin your engineering education at an associated university
The Associated University Program allows you to complete the first two years of your Engineering degree (BEng) at an associated university. By successfully completing the Associated University Program, students are granted automatic acceptance into the third year of the accredited Engineering degree programs at ±«Óătv.
Admission and registration for the associated university portion of the program is the responsibility of each associated university. Students interested in studying engineering should contact the associated university of their choice.
Associated universities include:
- Acadia University
- Cape Breton University
- Saint Francis Xavier University
- Saint Mary's University
A formal Memorandum of Understanding exists between ±«Óătv and each of the Associated Universities. Article 4.0/1 states:
"The Faculty of Engineering at ±«Óătv University will treat students from the Associated University programs on an equal basis with students who entered the program at ±«Óătv University. Academic merit will be the only deciding factor on admission to disciplines."

After earning your diploma, you can complete the final two years of your BEng in Halifax.
