Entry requirements
For international students
Pathway 1, starting at Holland College ('2+2'): If students have received a Bioscience Technology diploma and achieved a minimum 70% average at Holland College, they are eligible to apply to UPEI for formal entry into the BBT degree program. Pathway 2, starting at UPEI ('2+1+1'): Students apply to start at UPEI in the Faculty of Science directly out of high school, following standard application procedures at UPEI. Once accepted, students undertake one year of science courses similar to a first year biology or chemistry student (8 required courses, 2 electives). During the second year of study at UPEI, students apply to Holland College to do the Bioscience Technology diploma program by the deadline of February 1 (Note: only 15 seats available in this program each year). Once accepted, they complete their second year of science at UPEI (7 required courses, 3 electives), and then one full year at Holland College in the Bioscience Technology diploma program (includes 2 intersessions). Students then finish back at UPEI in their final year (4 required courses, 3 upper level science electives, 3 general electives). Application Deadlines: Documentation for all applicants should be complete by 1 August, if applying to the Fall semester, or by 1 December, if applying to the Winter semester.
