English Requirement


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Can anyone who is enrolled in UBC med school or has gone through the application process share some information. What courses did you take? I find the 6 credit requirement a bit daunting and am not sure how to fit them all within my program requirements. 

Thank you!!

It’s just two courses, if you’re program is jam packed like an engineer, I would do them in the summer. A lot of people do Athabasca online

Okay I was kind of confused because it says "6 credits of English coursework" on their website. This equals two courses? I am doing my undergrad in Ontario and am not sure if the credits transfer differently perhaps

UBC has semesters, and a standard english course that runs September-December or January-April is 3 credits. So usually the requirement works out to 2 courses or one year long course.

Have you consulted the chart on the website that shows applicable courses for universities across Canada? That will give you a good sense of what they accept from your university (even if the list isn’t exhaustive)

Yes, I did check this course and my first year credit counted. I was more so confused on the amount of credits I needed since I am out of province and the credits work a different way :)
