Course Mapping

What can I study on exchange?

You can search for courses that previous CIE students have already mapped and been approved. These tables are just a starting point for your own research about which courses could be transferred to your degree, and should not be considered an exhaustive list. Please note that project or design-based courses are not recommended to take abroad for all engineering programs. 

Not all previously evaluated courses listed are offered every session at the partner university. This is a general guideline only, please research the partner’s website for current course offerings. To see a complete list of courses that you could take on exchange, visit the partner institution’s full course listing website.

Students applying for CIE program must download and complete the Go Global Study Plan in addition to downloading the supporting documents that apply to you.

Understanding the Transfer Credits

If a course at the partner institution has an overlap in content of 80% or more with a UBC course, it may be assessed as a ‘direct equivalency’. A specific UBC course code is assigned as transfer credit in these situations. E.g., ELEC 481, CIVL 305, MECH 466.

If a course at the partner institution has less than an 80% overlap in content with a UBC course, it may be assessed as ‘unassigned departmental credit’. A more generic course code is assigned in these situations to indicate the appropriate department and year level of content. E.g., CPEN 4th, CIVL 3rd, MTRL 4th.

If you want to complete a core course on exchange, you will need to find a direct equivalency. With your Program Advisor’s approval, unassigned departmental credits may be used for your program’s technical electives.
