Program details

Overview

The Certificate in Indigenous Language Revitalization is offered by UVic's School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures in partnership with the En'owkin Centre, and grounds students in the knowledge and practical strategies behind community-led language work. The credential requires five core courses totalling 7.5 units on the dynamics of language empowerment, introductory linguistics, best practices, social action and language documentation, plus three electives worth 4.5 units, at least one of which must focus on language learning; elective options include Indigenous language study, mentorship, materials development and special topics. It runs in two modes: an online cohort open to learners across Canada, and community-based delivery designed and taught in partnership with individual Indigenous nations and organizations so the work answers local needs.

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.
