IB Diploma Programme (DP) UBC’s BEd Secondary Option

Teacher candidates in the IB Diploma Programme

Secondary teacher candidates may select either the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) or Diploma Programme (DP) as an option* in addition to a teachable subject.

IB teacher candidates are expected to participate in a four-day orientation during the week before program starts in September, as well as a weekly IB seminar and inquiry seminars during Terms 1 and 2. DP candidates will also take a two-day subject-specific seminar during Term 1.

Teacher candidates in the IB Middle Years Programme (IB-MYP) will complete an additional 1 credit to fulfill their program requirements; teacher candidates in the IB Diploma Programme (IB-DP) will complete an additional 2 credits to fulfill their program requirements.

Practicum Placements

Practicum placements will be in authorized IB World schools throughout Lower Mainland school districts.

* There are a very limited number of seats available. Selection will be made based on subject-area specialization and geographical location of practicum preference.
