Vocational and Rehabilitation Counselling is most likely to be of interest to practicing or aspiring vocational rehabilitation professionals who meet graduate admission criteria and are willing to study part-time.
Eligibility for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies is as follows. Applicants must hold a four-year Bachelor's degree with a minimum overall grade point average of B+ (76%) in third and fourth year-level courses.
However, applicants who have a Bachelor's degree with a GPA of slightly less than a B+ AND who have had significant formal training and relevant professional experience, may on occasion be granted admission on the recommendation of the appropriate department or faculty and approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

The University of British Columbia has developed a state-of-the-art professionally-oriented concentration in Vocational Rehabilitation Counselling which follows the scientist-practitioner training model and prepares students for independent practice in a wide spectrum of vocational rehabilitation service areas, including, but not limited to, vocational assessment, vocational individual and group intervention, adjustment and rehabilitative counselling, job development and placement, return-to-work planning, case and disability management, and research and program evaluation. A supervised clinical experience in the Vocational Rehabilitation setting as well as coursework on psychosocial and medical aspects of disability has also been built into the curriculum. It is responsive to the needs of Canadian vocational rehabilitation professionals and provides a uniquely Canadian perspective on vocational rehabilitation counselling and the environment where it is delivered.
The curriculum has been developed in accordance with future program accreditation requirements, and prepares graduates for licensing by respective professional licensing bodies for vocational rehabilitation professionals.
Both regular UBC faculty and sessional faculty will be involved in teaching. Sessional faculty will be selected among expert vocational rehabilitation professionals with academic background and qualifications.
