Program details

Overview

The Diploma in Education – Teacher-Librarianship is a 30-credit program. This diploma meets all the course recommendations of the Canadian School Library Association.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: UBC's Academic Calendar entry for the Certificate in Teacher Librarianship (LIBE) states that applicants require a Bachelor of Education or equivalent, and that additional teaching experience in community and/or school settings with children and/or adolescents is preferred though not stated as mandatory. The calendar page does not publish a separate English-language test score for this certificate; as a graduate-entry credential built on a prior teaching degree, applicants would in practice already meet UBC's general English-language admission standard through that prior credential. No GPA minimum, portfolio, or interview is described. The certificate is completed through 15 credits across two specified course combinations, and graduates apply to receive the certificate through Workday rather than attending a UBC graduation ceremony.

Application Details

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.
