Program details
Overview
This Master of Education program, offered through UBC's Office of Faculty Advancement in the Faculty of Education, is designed for practising teachers of French who want to examine their classroom practice from a research-informed perspective. The 30-credit, course-based program lets students focus coursework on interests such as multilingual pedagogies and translanguaging, intercultural learning, decolonizing approaches, and social justice and inclusive practices in French-language programs. Delivery is hybrid: each program year opens with an in-person, three-week course held in Montreal, giving participants a shared cohort experience and exposure to a francophone, multilingual setting, while courses running from September to June are delivered online in a primarily synchronous format, including roughly 24 hours of synchronous instruction per semester. Students can complete the program through coursework alone or add a capstone project connecting theoretical concepts to their own professional practice. The Montreal residency and cohort structure distinguish it from a fully online degree, and admission is aimed at working teachers rather than recent undergraduates entering education for the first time. It suits French-language teachers seeking a graduate credential they can complete while continuing to teach.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:76.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This program's own site, opl.educ.ubc.ca, returned a UBC Cybersecurity browser-verification gate rather than program content on this run (confirmed both by direct fetch and via the r.jina.ai reader), so this entry summarises the general Master of Education in Modern Languages Education (MLED) admission page that governs the French stream. It requires an approved Bachelor's degree with one year of teacher education for K-12 teachers, or a four-year Bachelor's degree in Education or an appropriate area with prerequisites completed (three-year Canadian degree holders need a fourth or honours year), plus a minimum overall average of 76% (B+ range) and, normally, two years of formal teaching experience. Applicants from outside Canada whose prior institution did not teach in English, tested within 24 months, must submit IELTS Academic overall 7.0 with no section below 6.5, TOEFL iBT overall 94 with no section below 22, or Duolingo overall 130 with no section below 120. A CV, a 500-word statement of intent, three references and transcripts are required.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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.
