Requirements

Admission Requirements: No prior academic credential is required. Applicants need English Studies 12 at 50% or equivalent (Category 3, also met by IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.0, TOEFL iBT 4 with no section below 3, PTE Academic 52, Duolingo 105, or CAEL 60, per BCIT's institution-wide English Language Proficiency page); no other minimum grade is stated. BCIT recommends applicants with limited Windows computer experience first complete COMP 1002 Applied Computer Concepts with Windows 11. Applicants are accepted on a first-qualified basis as long as space remains, with deadlines that vary by intake and by domestic or international status. In-person delivery requires a study permit and a co-op work permit for international students, and the program does not meet the field-of-study requirement for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.

Application Details

Start Date: October and April
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.
