Requirements

Minimum GPA: 76.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The program's own page states no required prior degree, field of study, or work/volunteer experience, applying the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies' general minimum overall average of B+ (76% at UBC), which the program may raise in practice given competitive selection. Applicants from a university outside Canada where English is not the language of instruction must submit, within 24 months of applying, IELTS Academic 7.0 overall, TOEFL iBT 5.0 overall on the post-2026 six-point scale, or Duolingo English Test 130 overall. The GRE is not required. The application requires three letters of reference, official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions, and a statement of interest, together with the domestic ($118.50) or international ($168.25) application fee. The School of Population and Public Health's own program page sets out any further department-specific detail.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic and international undergraduate applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC for Winter Session 2027/28 (September 2027 entry) and Summer 2027: applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration deadline is 15 January 2027, 11:59 p.m. PST, the same date for both groups; a few programs keep reviewing late applications on a space-available basis afterwards. Earlier dates apply only to entrance-award consideration -- 15 November 2026 for the International Scholars Program and 1 December 2026 for Presidential/Centennial/Beyond Tomorrow scholars. Several limited-entry programmes -- Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing (advanced entry), Occupational/Physical Therapy, Social Work and Teacher Education -- set their own earlier deadlines from October 2026 through February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
