Intensive English Program (IEP)
The Intensive English Program is a full-time English language training program offered in 16-week sessions beginning in January, May and the end of August. You can come for just one session, or stay for longer – our multi-level program ensures that you will have new challenges and new courses to select from as your English improves. When you successfully complete three courses at one level, you will earn a UBC Certificate in English Language for that level.
Our 16 weeks sessions align with the UBC academic calendar to allow for a smooth transition for students granted conditional admission to UBC degree programs.
IEP 8 Week Option
The ELI offers an 8 week IEP option which allows for more flexibility in start dates. Each 16 week session has two 8 week terms. Students who take an 8 week term will have access to the same courses and resources as the 16 week session students.
