Program overview
A two year university transfer route covering the first half of an education degree, taking in foundations of teaching, child and adolescent development, educational psychology and the arts and science coursework a teaching degree requires.
Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) does not award a degree at Medicine Hat College. It delivers two years of credit that transfer to a partner university where the degree is completed, so the plan has to include that second institution from the start.
Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) is delivered by Medicine Hat College, a designated learning institution in Alberta. Because Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) is a two year university transfer route rather than a degree, the Canadian field of study requirement applies, which means the Post-Graduation Work Permit depends on this programme sitting inside an eligible field at the moment you apply. The source records Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) as PGWP eligible, but that list is revised, so confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. A Provincial Attestation Letter is also required.
Admission to Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) requires Grade 12 or Class 12 with 60 percent. Grade 12 English and three further academic subjects are each required at 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) is recorded at CAD 15,270 a year with a CAD 125 application fee. No scholarship is recorded. The only entry point listed is September 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at 60 percent or above, including Grade 12 English and three other Grade 12 academic subjects each at 60 percent.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 4.0 with no band below 4.0 on the scale in force from 21 January 2026, or 79 on the earlier scale; PTE Academic 54; or the Duolingo English Test at 105. CAEL 60 with no score below 50 and several Cambridge and Canadian benchmark tests are also accepted. TOEFL scoring changed on 21 January 2026. Scores from tests taken on or after that date are read on the new scale; a result from an earlier test is read on the old one.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 125 applies. The cross check source records an initial deposit of CAD 15,000, which is far larger than the deposit most Canadian colleges ask for and should be confirmed in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded for this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: This is a transfer route, not a completed credential. Confirm which partner universities accept the transfer and on what terms before you apply.
- Work permit: Bachelor of Education (University Transfer) is a two year university transfer route, not a degree, so the field of study test applies and PGWP eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. A Provincial Attestation Letter is required. No spousal open work permit arises from this programme.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the provincial attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.

Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Transfer to a Degree: completing the education degree at a partner university
- Educational Assistant: school support roles
- Tutor: private and supplementary teaching
- Camp and Programme Leader: youth education settings
- Library Assistant: school and public libraries
- Teacher Certification: only after the full degree is completed
Reality check: no teaching certification comes from this route, because no degree is completed here, and Alberta teacher certification requires the full degree plus provincial approval afterwards.
