Transfer credit

The Vancouver School of Economics will not award Econ credits for any courses taken at the London School of Economics Summer School. UBCV students taking Econ courses will be awarded general Arts credits. Please consult your Academic Advisor if you are planning to take or transfer Econ courses from your summer experience. 

Check out the courses that previous students have transferred back to UBC in the last 5 years using our Course Search Tool. If you don't see a particular course you listed, it simply means you need to submit it as a new course request through the Transfer Credit Portal while on your Go Global experience. For more information, please visit the Go Global Transfer Credit webpage.

Not all courses listed are offered through the summer program at this partner institution. The tool is for reference only–research the partner's website for actual course offerings.

Note: Transfer credits are only granted for courses with academic content that meet the academic standard for UBC. Courses that do not contain academic coursework may not be eligible. Please visit Go Global Transfer Credit webpage to learn more. Please speak to a departmental advisor if you have any questions.
