Overview

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to Professional Communication in the Workplace follows one of two stated pathways: applicants either meet the University of Victoria's general undergraduate admission requirements and complete the prerequisites for the program's required courses, or apply as professional learners by demonstrating prior learning or professional experience equivalent to the prerequisites for the program's 300-level courses. All applicants to the University of Victoria, including through this pathway, must demonstrate proof of English-language proficiency; the program page links to UVic's general language-requirements page rather than restating scores, which sets IELTS Academic 6.5 (no component below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20), PTE Academic 65 (no skill below 60), Duolingo 120 (no subscore below 110), or CAEL 70 (no section below 60). Applicants uncertain of their eligibility are invited to discuss admission options with the program coordinator.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
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.
