Program overview
A four year science degree with majors available across biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, psychology and computer science, covering laboratory method and quantitative analysis.
Bachelor of Science asks 70 percent and lets you choose a major after entry, which suits students who know they want laboratory science but not yet which discipline within it. Majors span biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, psychology and computer science, so the decision genuinely stays open through the whole of your first year of study.
Bachelor of Science is taught at MacEwan University in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, a public undergraduate university and a designated learning institution. Because Bachelor of Science is a degree it is exempt from the Canadian field of study requirement, so completing Bachelor of Science supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years without the subject being tested against an eligibility list. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application for Bachelor of Science, and the university issues it with the letter of acceptance.
Entry to Bachelor of Science is Grade 12 or Class 12 at 70 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Bachelor of Science is recorded at CAD 25,047 a year with a CAD 110 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against Bachelor of Science. Bachelor of Science lists five entry windows across September and January to 2028. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Science application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 21 in every section; PTE Academic 59 with 56 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 110 applies, the same on all 38 programmes. 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.
- Work permit: Bachelor of Science is a degree at a public university, so it is exempt from the field of study test and supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer and MacEwan awards none. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
