Admission Information

Guide for Prospective Students

The Faculty uses a broad-based admission policy that considers both academic performance and evidence of other characteristics and qualities.

You can apply to the BPSc program either as a secondary school graduate or as a university transfer student from another UBC faculty or another post-secondary institution.

Already Studying Post-Secondary Courses

We admit 80 students in total to the BPSc program. Admission is competitive. Meeting the minimum admission requirements only makes you eligible for consideration and does not guarantee admission to the program. Refer to the Academic Calendar for details on the admission policy.

Launch Your Application

Remember to list the BPSc as your first-choice program to remain eligible for admission.

Make sure you pay attention to the application deadline and other important dates posted by the Undergraduate Admissions Office.

Sign up and Complete an Admission Interview

You must sign up for an admission interview to remain eligible for consideration to the BPSc program. Refer to the email from the Undergraduate Admissions Office outlining your next steps and required documents to access the sign-up. You must sign up by January 20, 2027 and complete the admission interview by January 29, 2027.

You will be asked to share more about yourself as a learner and as a science student in the interview, so we can understand whether you will be a great fit to the BPSc program.

Plan for the Program

The BPSc program is designed as a 4-year, full-time program. While there is some flexibility to adjust your course load, doing so may affect your academic progression.

We encourage you to connect with an academic advisor to explore your options and make an informed plan.
