Program details
Overview
The Politics, Policy and Climate Action micro-certificate will provide insights into the policy and political contexts that shape climate action across scales from local to global, including relevant institutional and governance innovations.
The program will also provide learners with skills and strategies for engaging and overcoming stagnation and polarization, as well as developing strategies that are responsive to climate science along with the social and ecological impacts.
You will engage with urban and regional planning within the context of rapid change. You can choose to focus on issues such as water, systems transformation, or Indigenous-led actions through an elective choice.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Politics, Policy and Climate Action Micro-certificate states that no application is necessary: learners simply select and register directly for the three courses that make up the certificate, with ongoing acceptance rather than fixed intake dates. The program page notes that its component courses are offered at the third- and fourth-year undergraduate level, which describes the level of the coursework rather than setting a formal prerequisite. UVic's Division of Continuing Studies sets no minimum education level, no English-language-proficiency test or score, no portfolio, no interview, and no minimum work-experience threshold for this micro-certificate. Applicants uncertain whether the courses suit their background are not directed to any alternative-pathway contact on this page.
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.
