Programs Second bachelor degree in engineering

AI Thread Summary
Students with a bachelor's degree in engineering can pursue a second bachelor's degree in a different engineering branch, but admission policies vary by university. It is advisable to contact specific institutions for their requirements. For those with a low GPA from their first degree, taking additional courses to improve grades can demonstrate academic improvement and commitment. Highlighting personal growth and resilience in overcoming past challenges can strengthen applications. Additionally, applicants should be prepared to articulate their reasons for changing their area of specialization during the admissions process.

Is it possible for any student having a bachelor's degree in engineering to pursue a second bachelor's degree in another branch of engineering?

I got my first bachelor degree in chemical engineering (from Africa, low gpa for personal issues at that time). I was traying to get into master program but no luck so far with my low gpa. I was thinking in doing a second bachelor degree in electrical or mechanical engineering ( in Canada, where I live now). What do you guys think?

Thanks

You'll have to ask the universities. Probably.

Maybe you can take a few classes (preferably in engineering-related areas, of course) now get good grades , which would show any school that you have gotten it together after your mistakes. This sort of story sells well in many places. Highlight how you have overcome hardships and did not let them get in your way. And be ready to explain why you are changing your area of specialization , in case someone ask. Have a thoughtful, honest answer for it.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
