Graduate Application Process (Please read this carefully.)

Please ensure you at least meet UBC's minimum entrance requirements before applying (see Minimum Academic Requirements) and, if required, our departmental TOEFL requirement of 250 (computer-based) or 600 (paper-based) or 100 (internet-based).

Note that many students who meet the academic requirements are not accepted due to a lack of space or suitable research projects. Students should directly contact prospective supervisors to inquire about research openings in the coming year (See Research topics by faculty member). When contacting prospective supervisors, please provide as much information as possible about your academic background and experience.
