What is the cost of the program?

Please refer to Tuition and Related Fees for details of program costs and payment deadlines.

How many courses do I have to complete to get my Bachelor of Technology?

Is there any order in which I must complete the courses?

There is no specific order; however, MSTM 4400 is the capstone course with several prerequisites, and it is designed to be completed at the end of your studies.

How long will it take to complete the program?

Students registered on a full-time basis may complete the program in one academic year, that is three semesters. Students may normally register for one to five courses in any semester and there are three semesters in each academic year. Special permission can be granted for individuals wishing to take additional courses in a particular semester.

How do I find out if I can obtain credit for similar courses that I have previously completed?

Questions regarding the transfer credit evaluation process or the status of a transfer credit evaluation may be directed to the Evaluations Officer in the Office of the Registrar by e-mail at transfer.credit@mun.ca or by phone at (709) 864-4424.

If you have received credit for a course completed during your diploma program, you will be required to do another course in its place. For example, if you receive credit for Statistics 2500 because you have completed a Statistics course in your diploma program, you will have to complete another course in its place. Students usually choose another course from the elective list.

Can I transfer or complete any courses from another university and use them towards the Bachelor of Technology Degree?

Students must complete at least 30 credit hours (ten courses) at Memorial University. This means a student may complete a total of nine credit hours (three courses) at other universities. These credit hours must be transferable to Memorial and must be part of the Bachelor of Technology Program. Please check with the Registrar's Office for information on specific courses from other universities.

How do I purchase my text books?

If you are in the St. Johns area, you can pick up your text books in person at the MUN Bookstore. You can also order your textbooks online. Make sure that you choose the correct course and the correct course section as not all sections of a course use the same textbook.

Is there a time limitation on completing the Bachelor of Technology degree program?

There is no time restriction on completing the course requirements for the degree program.

Does the BTech program have a residency requirement?

No. As a BTech student you are not required to physically come to Memorial University and study for any length of time. The BTech program is fully available online.
