Program details

Overview

The part-time online program works through essential cloud security concepts, aimed at learners of any background or prior experience. Content covers identifying, evaluating, and mitigating digital risks, with understanding deepened further through an adversarial view of cybersecurity practice.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: No formal academic prerequisite is set for this UBC Extended Learning micro-certificate: the program page states that technical and coding skills are not required. It is aimed at professionals in non-technical or tech-adjacent roles, including business and operational managers, owners and CEOs, digital-transformation leads, and business-intelligence or financial-team staff. The page lists no minimum GPA and no English-language test score (IELTS, TOEFL or similar). It recommends taking the micro-certificate's two constituent courses in succession, though they may be taken separately in any order, and the credential can be applied toward UBC's larger 190-hour Cloud and Technology Transformation Certificate; no interview, portfolio or reference letter is required.

Application Details

Start Date: September and November

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.
