The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada is preparing to open applications for its Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Electrical and Computer Engineering and its Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemical and Biological Engineering. These programs are designed to provide students with advanced research opportunities and financial support.
For the MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering, students can apply for scholarships, research assistantships, and teaching opportunities. According to UBC’s published funding statistics, the median annual funding amount for students in the reported cohort was CAD 32,575 during their first two years of study. However, this amount is not guaranteed to every admitted student, as financial support depends on available awards, assistantships, and individual supervisors.
The university is also offering a minimum annual funding package of CAD 40,000 to full-time students enrolled in its PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering. This financial support is guaranteed for the first four years of doctoral study at the Vancouver campus. Both domestic and international students, including applicants from Pakistan, can qualify for the funding after securing admission.
Applications for the MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering will open on October 15, 2026, with a closing date of January 15, 2027. For the PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering, the application deadline for the May 2027 intake is December 1, 2026, while applications for the September 2027 intake will close on February 1, 2027.
Eligible applicants must hold an accredited four-year bachelor’s degree and meet the English language requirements, with an IELTS score of 7.0 or TOEFL iBT score of 100 under the previous scoring system. GRE requirements are not mandatory for either program.
The university’s published annual tuition rates are approximately CAD 10,081.65 for international students and CAD 5,738.52 for domestic students. Additionally, eligible international students can receive an International Tuition Award worth up to CAD 3,200 per year. UBC also lists additional student fees of approximately CAD 1,203.20 annually.
