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.
Select Your Admission Pathway
Learn how to prepare your application by selecting the option that best matches your academic background.
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.
Tell Us Why You Are Interested
We will invite you to participate in a pre-recorded admission interview after you submit your application.
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.
