Yes, you can pursue a Master's in Public Health (MPH) or Healthcare Administration (MHA) in Canada as an international student.
Admission typically requires:
- Four-year undergraduate degree with at least 70% average.
- English language proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL), unless prior education was in English.
- For MHA: At least 3 years of full-time health sector work experience is often needed.
- Some programs may ask for a recent statistics course (for MPH) or standardized tests like the GMAT (for MHA).
Program formats and deadlines vary by university and are subject to change. These programs are competitive, so preparing your application early and meeting all requirements is important.
