Eligibility Requirements
The MEL and MHLP degrees are for practising professionals who have completed an undergraduate degree and have several years of work experience in a related field.
You will need to meet four main eligibility requirements:
- Related professional experience
- Relevant academic experience with a minimum overall grade
- English language proficiency
- Program-specific requirements
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
To be eligible you will need to have a minimum of three years full-time work experience in a related field, by the start date of the program. We only count professional experience gained after you graduated from your bachelor’s degree towards this requirement.
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE:
To be eligible, you must have a bachelor’s degree in a field relevant to the program you wish to study. You must also meet UBC’s minimum academic requirements, which are based on the country where you completed your undergraduate degree.
If you studied in Canada or the United States, you must have completed an undergraduate degree and attained an overall average of 76% in your upper years of study.
If you studied outside of Canada or the US, you must meet the minimum academic requirements for the country where you completed your undergraduate degree.
PROOF OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY:
For success in the program, you must be able to fluently speak, comprehend and write in English.
If you completed your degree at a university in a country where English is not the only official language, you may need to provide results of an English language proficiency test as part of your application.
