Summer Institute in Education

The Summer Institute in Education offers excellent summer learning opportunities for teachers, early childhood educators, and other professions that work primarily with children and youth seeking professional development opportunities. Courses are offered online, hybrid and in-person, and are relevant to current trends and needs in education. They generally take place four days a week (Tuesday to Friday) for three weeks.

For current UBC students, the courses are open to those third-year and up.

For educators, courses in the SIE program can be used towards certificates, diplomas, graduate programs, professional development and upgrading requirements.

All SIE courses are 3 credits.

Courses for the summer institute will be posted by early March 2025.
