Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This is a combined degree entered by applying to UVic's Chemistry program as a high-school or transfer applicant, with the Chemistry and Earth Sciences major declared after one full year of study; the combined-degree page itself does not restate separate grades or prerequisite courses. UVic's Faculty of Science sets a minimum application average of 70% across the required grade-12 admission subjects for entry into Chemistry, and the university's estimated entry averages for Chemistry sit around 85% in recent cycles, though meeting a minimum never guarantees a place. International applicants whose first language is not English must meet UVic's language-proficiency requirement, with a minimum IELTS Academic score of 6.5 (no component below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20) for full admission.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
