Admission & Finance
The UBC Master of Management (MM) selection process is rigorous. Candidates are carefully selected against competitive requirements to ensure that you learn from peers who have demonstrated vision, leadership and experience. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and are reviewed holistically. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee you admission into the UBC MM.

If your university does not produce more official copies of your transcript, photocopy your transcript, and have the university stamp it with the official stamp. Mail it in a sealed, endorse envelope, with the Registrar’s signature or University stamp across the seal.
To expedite the admissions process, students can scan and upload their transcripts for review. However, we must receive your official documents as soon as possible.
Note: Applicants who have completed their degrees at UBC will not need to send transcripts in.
If you have applied to our programs within the last two years, it is not necessary to submit new letters of reference and new transcripts unless you have undertaken further academic studies, as we retain all documentation for a two-year period.
