Students in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urbanism program are recommended to participate in Term 2 in third year. And students are recommended to take the following equivalent courses in the exchange term:

DES 302: Design Studio IV – Vancouver (9 credits)

DES 321: Topics in Architectural History I (3 credits) or DES 323: Histories in Landscape Architecture (3 credits)

Electives (6 or 9 credits)

We ask students to kindly indicate the program stream that they are hoping to apply for when they send their study plan to the program contact for approval. Please note that all study plan approvals are tentative until courses have been officially mapped to UBC equivalencies.

Biomedical Engineering students who are not in the Co-op program are recommended to participate in an exchange in Term 2 in third year. Biomedical Engineering students who are in the Co-op program are recommended to participate in an exchange during their fourth year.

As Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new program, there are fewer pre-mapped courses at our CIE partners to choose from. Therefore, with approval from Go Global and the CIE advisor, Biomedical Engineering students may be permitted to use an exchange through a Go Global university-wide agreement to replace a fourth Co-op term, in the same way that a CIE exchange can replace a Co-op term for students in other programs.

Chemical & Biological Engineering students are recommended to participate in Term 2 in third year. And students are only allowed to take Technical Elective courses in their exchange term with an approval from the Program Advisor prior to registration. The requirement that students must take a minimum of 6 technical elective credits must be CHBE courses can be waived. 

Civil Engineering students are recommended to participate in Term 2 in third year. Please note that CIVL students must have completed at least 6 terms (3 winter sessions) of course work prior to going on exchange to Delft University of Technology.

Below are samples of courses that Civil Engineering students have previously studied.
