Requirements
Admission Requirements: This one-year diploma requires applicants to already hold a UVic bachelor's degree or its equivalent before admission; students who completed a UVic undergraduate degree in Applied Linguistics itself, or its equivalent, may not register for the diploma. Neither the diploma's own page nor its home department page publishes a minimum GPA, prerequisite course, or specific English-language test score for entry; applicants are directed to UVic's general graduate/diploma admission process for the remaining criteria. International applicants would still need to 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).
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.
