Graduate Level Course Work


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if graduate level courses are assessed for admission into the UBC medicine program? 

I am currently in a thesis (research based) masters program and am only am required to complete a couple of courses. I am wondering if the grades I received in these courses are counted in my gpa calculation? I only took a couple each semester and therefore, they were not taken at a full course load. Also, one of them was a half-semester course. 

Is there a page on the UBC website that addresses this that I have no seen? 

Thanks in advance!

Also, a ‘full course load’ in a master’s degree is not the same as in undergrad. Your thesis, TAing, etc is supposed to take up a lot of your time.

If for some reason you think you have a lot fewer courses than other people in your program, you can write a brief justification in the app. But it’s common to just take a couple at a time in most thesis programs.
