When determining who receives an offer of admission, we look at more than just grades. Find out how you can plan for UBC and what we look for when evaluating your application.
Understanding UBC’s admission requirements is an important first step. Select a campus and the degree you’re interested in to find the general and degree-specific requirements you’ll need to meet before you apply.

IB certificate courses
To be eligible for admission to UBC, you must successfully complete an academic high school curriculum, including both general admission and degree-specific requirements. IB certificate courses (both Standard and Higher Level) can be used for admission in conjunction with another high school curriculum.
Initial admission decisions are based on interim grades as reported by your high school. Once your final IB results are available, we will use them to confirm your admission decision and any first-year credit you may be eligible for.
First-year credit
UBC recognizes the IB enriched secondary school program. To be assessed for first-year credit(s), you must contact the IBO and have your official results submitted to UBC electronically.
