Admissions requirements and deadlines can vary between programs.
Please read the requirements of each program carefully and ensure you are not missing any documentation or fail to meet a deadline.
UBC’s admission process is competitive and comparative. Keep in mind that your application will be evaluated against all of the others we have received this year for the same degree.
Meeting UBC’s minimum general and degree-specific requirements does not guarantee that a student will receive an offer. That’s where the Personal Profile section of our online application comes in.
