Applying to course-based and professional programs

At UBC we have approximately 100 different course-based and professional programs. These programs typically have a set program length, are cohort-based, and as the name suggests involve working through set course curricula. These programs do not have an in-depth research component. However, the depth and sophistication of your work will be a step up from what you did as an undergraduate.

In this webinar we focus on applying to course-based programs and provide advice on making your application as strong as possible.

This session will cover:

• Difference between course-based and research-based graduate programs.
• Differences in the application process for course-based vs research-based programs.
• Writing a statement of interest for course-based and professional programs
• References – What we look for and who you should ask
• CV tips
• Interview tips
• Q&A
