This profile concerns UBC Vancouver, not the Okanagan campus. Science entrants generally begin without a named specialisation and apply for their major after promotion to second-year standing. An initial Science offer therefore does not guarantee a Computer Science place; that later selection is a separate competitive process.

Selected programme examples

  2. Bachelor of Arts — Vancouver

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Applicants need an appropriate recognised school-leaving qualification, the degree's required subjects and English evidence; international requirements depend on the curriculum.
  • UBC evaluates the application rather than offering one universal Indian-percentage cutoff.
  • For Science, plan first-year courses carefully because later specialisation admission has additional requirements and capacity limits.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The undergraduate English standard lists IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no part below 6.0.
  • IELTS General, Indicator and One Skill Retake are not accepted under that test route.
  • Other approved routes or individually approved waivers may apply.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Applications opened in October 2026 for Winter Session September 2027–April 2028.
  • Summer Session availability is degree-specific and must not be assumed for every first-year programme.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The general undergraduate application deadline is 15 January 2027 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time.
  • International Scholars applicants face an earlier 15 November 2026 admission-and-award deadline.
  • Programme supplements and document deadlines must be checked separately.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The approved Vancouver 2026/27 international table gives Science CAD 1,769.40 per credit, or CAD 53,082 for 30 credits.
  • Arts is CAD 51,530.40 for 30 credits; Engineering CAD 66,199.66 for 37.
  • These are dated 2026/27 tuition examples, not verified new-entrant 2027/28 quotations.
  • Student fees and living costs are additional.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • UBC automatically considers eligible applicants submitted by the admission deadline for IMES and OIS merit awards.
  • International Scholars has a separate, earlier application process.
  • The accessible merit-award amount was labelled 2026/27, so no 2027 scholarship value is promised; confirm the appropriate year's conditions and any renewal rules.
