How to apply
"My instructor Jason Diemer inspired me to study engineering. I transferred directly from NIC into second year of UVic’s biomedical engineering degree."
Milena Restan - NIC/UVic Engineering Dual Admission alum
“When I went into the engineering program, I was proficient in math and science and I thought that was what I was going to be doing for a living. But really, it’s a lot of communication and building relationships with people, which I’ve really enjoyed. It’s a part of the job that keeps you motivated."
Nolan deWitt - Alum, UVic Engineering Transfer program
