Program overview
A four year engineering degree in sustainable design, covering life cycle assessment, energy efficient systems, sustainable materials, environmental engineering and paid co-op work terms, with applied practice running through the programme.
This is the newest of the engineering degrees here, and it sits where engineering meets the climate and energy transition.
Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable Design Engineering is taught at Conestoga College Cambridge Fountain Street, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the sustainable design engineering degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Conestoga records the sustainable design engineering degree under CIP 14.4801. That exemption lets the sustainable design engineering degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the sustainable design engineering degree can support a study permit application.
Admission to Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable Design Engineering requires Grade 12 or equivalent at 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the sustainable design engineering degree is recorded at CAD 15,961. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the sustainable design engineering degree. The sustainable design engineering degree lists only two entry windows, both September starts. Apply Study Visa manages your the sustainable design engineering degree application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated, normally including mathematics and physics.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Professional Engineer status in Ontario requires licensing with Professional Engineers Ontario, assessed separately from this degree.
- Work rights: The sustainable design engineering degree is a degree, exempt from the field of study rule, supporting a work permit of up to three years. Conestoga records CIP 14.4801. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 7 in all four abilities for degree graduates, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant open work permit applies.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
