We recognize that putting together a high-quality graduate application is a significant undertaking.
Between professional commitments and personal responsibilities, finding time to curate a portfolio and refine a personal statement can be challenging.
By extending this deadline, we want to ensure you have the time to gather your materials and submit a compelling application that truly reflects your potential.
Our decision to extend the deadline reflects our commitment to a diverse and dynamic cohort. We believe that by providing this extra time, we can reach talented storytellers whose circumstances may have made the original deadline difficult to meet.
Our admissions team is available to answer questions as you finalize your materials.
If you have already submitted your application, it remains under full consideration and is staying on its original review schedule.
Your journey in journalism begins with an application you are proud of. We look forward to reading your story.
Reminder: The new deadline is February 28, 2026. Your story in journalism begins at UBC.
