Canadian student fees
Tuition and Expenses
Tuition fees are payable in three equal installments in the first week of the following months of the program: September, January, May. Upon receipt of an offer of admission, you will be required to submit a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit in Canadian currency. This deposit total of $5,000 CAD will be credited towards your first tuition installment. Per UBC policy, application fees and tuition fees are allowed to be paid by credit card, but tuition installments must be paid by one of the methods listed on this UBC Paying Tuition page. Tuition is subject to UBC Board of Governor’s approval, and the university may adjust fees at any time with limited notice.
