Program details

Overview

The Interdisciplinary Studies in Contemporary Education Post-Baccalaureate Diploma provides professional development opportunities for educators and respond to the needs of schools and districts for education specialists.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: UBC Okanagan's own program page for this Post-Baccalaureate Diploma states the academic prerequisite as a bachelor's degree, a teacher's certification, or permission of the Dean of Education. Applicants wanting to enrol in individual diploma courses rather than the full diploma need at least third-year academic standing. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who have not previously attended UBC or another Canadian university, must satisfy UBC's English Proficiency Requirements; the page does not itself list test names or scores, pointing instead to UBC's general English-proficiency requirements page. No portfolio, interview, or further condition beyond the prior credential and English-proficiency requirement is described on the program's own page.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January and May
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.
