Program details

Overview

This micro-certificate provides a practical playbook for cloud transformation, along with the ability to critically assess technology implementation. Learners build skills and knowledge for identifying strategic gaps in cloud transformation, adopting cost-saving practices in cloud operations, and making use of emerging technologies.

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, and that coding itself is not covered in the courses. It is aimed at those involved in business-driven technology decisions - executives, technology professionals, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and students - and notes that familiarity with management information systems and business applications is an asset rather than a requirement. The page lists no minimum GPA and no English-language test score (IELTS, TOEFL or similar). Admission is through direct registration in the two constituent courses, Cloud Transformation Strategy and Cloud Technology Infrastructure Strategy, rather than a competitive application; no interview, portfolio or reference letter is mentioned.

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.
