Requirements

Minimum GPA: 60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a three- or four-year undergraduate degree, in any discipline and any language, from a recognized post-secondary institution, with a minimum 60% (C) average across the last 60 credits or equivalent taken. Applicants must also meet UFV's Degree/diploma-level English language proficiency requirement (e.g. IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20, PTE Academic 61, or Duolingo 110); those whose prior degree was not completed in an English-medium system must provide separate proof of meeting the standard. The Academic Calendar notes that additional courses or prerequisite waivers may be required depending on the applicant's undergraduate background, and recommends contacting an Academic Advisor before applying. International admits may also qualify for entrance scholarships based on academic performance. The diploma admits for the Fall semester only.

Application Details

Start Date: Two entry points a year - Fall (September to December) and Winter (January to April). UFV's programme list shows no Summer intake for this one.
Application Deadline: UFV publishes no closing date of its own for this programme - the Calendar entry points applicants at the institution-wide schedule instead of naming a deadline, so what follows is that schedule. DOMESTIC APPLICANTS: applications open 1 October for the Fall (September) intake and 1 May for the Winter (January) intake. Apply as soon after the opening date as you can: UFV admits many programmes in application-date order, and it records that date only once the application, the fee and every document listed in the programme's Calendar entry have arrived. Grade 12 students may apply from 1 October of their graduating year and must send final grades with proof of graduation by 3 August. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS: this programme accepts international students. UFV International runs its own windows - 1 October to 31 May for Fall, 1 May to 31 October for Winter, 1 October to 1 March for Summer - and confirms acceptances in the order applications arrive, so a programme can close early once it fills. Allow up to six weeks for a decision, and pay the tuition that confirms an offer by 1 May for Fall, 1 October for Winter or 15 February for Summer.
