Program details
Overview
The graduate certificate in Educational Technology allows you to undertake study in this field without committing to a full master’s degree. As a graduate certificate student, you may select from the same range of courses offered to those in the full Master's program, and you will study alongside students in the Master of Educational Technology program.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:76.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a four-year bachelor's degree from a UBC-recognized university, or a completed master's degree even where the underlying bachelor's degree was not four years, together with a B+ average (76% at UBC) in third- and fourth-year coursework, per UBC's Master of Educational Technology program page. Successful applicants normally bring at least two years of relevant professional experience in education, broadly defined as facilitating learning at any level or in any context, with preference given to those already using educational technology in their work or intending to expand into it. Required application materials are transcripts from every post-secondary institution attended other than UBC, three letters of reference, and a Statement of Intent of up to 500 words outlining professional and scholarly goals. Graduate-certificate students are not admitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and new cohorts are accepted three times a year, in January, May and September.
Application Details
Start Date:January, May and 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.
