A UBC Diploma in Education is a 30-credit UBC-conferred post degree diploma which provides teachers and others qualified with specialization coursework for advancement in positions and in qualification categories. Diplomas are completed within a 5 year time frame. If students begin their coursework as an unclassified student, they may advance transfer 12 non-UBC credits, or 18 UBC credits into their Diploma program. For further details on Advance Transfer, please see: Transfer Credit.
