When Ottawa native Samir Raza arrived at Western as a National Scholar he had a talent for problem solving, a keen interest in technical innovation, and an appreciation for the power of education. Enrolled in Engineering, he had planned to apply his engineering skills in medical research. (more)

Dual Degrees

Graduate with two degrees at the same time

In addition to our strong, design-based core engineering programs, Western Engineering also offers two types of dual degrees: Concurrent degrees and Combined Degrees. These degrees prepare students to cross traditional borders in their future careers, allowing them to graduate with two degrees in less time than it would take to complete each one independently.

Concurrent Degree Options
Some of the more popular concurrent degree programs combined with Engineering are major modules in the following areas:

Applied Math
Biology
Computer Science
Economics
Environmental Science
Materials Science
Medical Biophysics
Physics
Psychology

Students who wish to complete a concurrent degree in an area not listed here may work with an Academic Counsellor to custom design a concurrent degree program.

Combined Degree Options
The combined degree program is similar to concurrent degree but is offered with one of Western's professional Faculties: the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Richard Ivey School of Business, and Western Law. Combined programs with Western Engineering include:

The Richard Ivey School of Business with Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Software, Mechanical and Integrated Engineering (BESc and HBA)
The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry with Biochemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Integrated Engineering (BESc and MD)
Western Law with Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Software, Mechanical and Integrated Engineering (BESc and JD)

MD/BESc Program

Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry together with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Western Ontario offers a seven-year program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Science degree and an MD degree. The program is aimed at high-achieving students and requires high admission performance standards. Combined studies in Engineering and Medicine prepare students for a career in technology-dependent medicine.

Three seats will be set aside each year for applicants to the MD/BESc Program. Please note only applicants who are pre-registered in the MD/BESc program in the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Western Ontario are eligible for these seats. The combined program is available in conjunction with the Biochemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Integrated Engineering programs.
