About iBASE

The Intensive Bridge to Academic Success in English program (iBASE) is an accelerated 7-week English language program for students admitted to Accounting and Financial Management or the Faculties ofÌýArts, Engineering, Environment, Health, Mathematics, or Science.

If you meet À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ's academic admission requirements but your English language scores are just below our minimum admission requirements, you may be offered a place in iBASE.

Once you successfully complete this program, you begin studies in the program listed on your offer of admission in the fall with the rest of the first-year students.

How is iBASE different from the regular BASE program?

  • You complete iBASE in the summer and start full-time degree studies in September with the rest of our first-year students. You do not need to wait until the following year to begin your degree studies.
