Schedule an ELI exam
All academic work is conducted completely in English. Therefore, all participants must be able to speak, comprehend, and write fluently in English. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based) or 80 (iBT) or IELTS-Academic (overall 6.5) is required for all applicants whose degrees are from an institution in which English was not the primary language of instruction. Alternatively a UBC English (ELI) exam may be taken. Please contact the UBC IMBA office to schedule your exam.
