Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Transport Canada Candidate Document Number (CDN), the credential Transport Canada issues once a candidate has met its own eligibility rules for the Master 150GT Domestic certification; BCIT adds no further academic entrance requirement of its own. For applicants without a marine background, BCIT recommends but does not require English 11 (or equivalent English language proficiency), plus Math 11 and Physics 11. The program page sets no English-proficiency score of its own and instead points to BCIT's institute-wide English Language Proficiency requirements on the general entrance-requirements page. No minimum GPA, portfolio, interview, or other admission condition beyond the valid CDN is stated on either page.

Application Details

Start Date: January, April and September
Application Deadline: BCIT publishes common credential application dates for most cohort-based diplomas, degrees and Flexible Learning routes, though each program's own page governs: for the January 2027 intake domestic applications run 1 February 2026 to 2 January 2027 and international to 1 November 2026; for the April 2027 intake domestic runs 1 May 2026 to 1 April 2027 and international to 1 February 2027; for September 2027 domestic applications open 1 October 2026 and close 1 September 2027, international 2 July 2027. Openings are 9:00 am and deadlines 11:59 pm Pacific Time, moving to the next business day on a weekend. Admission is not institute-wide rolling, but many programs work first-qualified-first-accepted and can fill before the posted deadline, and several programs, mostly in Health Sciences, trades and graduate studies, run entirely separate application tables of their own. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
