ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
The firm deadline to receive complete applications is May 15th. Our minimum admission requirement for international applicants is 75% or 3.0 on a 4 point Canadian scale, with an accredited university degree equivalent to a Lakehead University 4 year degree. We advise all international students to apply early, as admission into our programs is competitive. Should you wish to apply to a thesis program, we strongly advise you to contact a potential supervisor, and have your proof of English language proficiency complete.
At this time, we do not pre-assess qualifications.
