Program details
Overview
Also housed in the Department of Geography, this thesis-based Master of Science runs two years full-time and lets students build independent research skills in coastal systems, geomatics, human geography, physical geography, or environment and sustainability. Beyond thesis work, students can take on lab instructor roles, join field work, and attend the department's research colloquium.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:5.00 / 9.0
Admission Requirements: The program's own page sets out no explicit prior-degree, GPA or language-test threshold for this MSc, so the University of Victoria's general graduate standard applies: a four-year bachelor's degree with the equivalent of a minimum B (5.0) average over the last two years. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet UVic's graduate language-proficiency requirement, either IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0 or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no section below 4.0 (UVic's scale for tests taken from January 2026). Applicants must submit a one-page statement on academic background and research interests naming a potential supervisor, a current resume, two referee contacts and post-secondary transcripts; that supervisor must agree to supervise and recommend admission before an offer is made.
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.
