What are the documents required for my application in Ireland/Canada for a Master's?
You'll typically need these documents for your Master's application to Canada or Ireland:
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates from all post-secondary studies
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your motivation and goals
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs) (usually 2-3 from professors or employers)
- CV or resume with your education, experience, and achievements
- English test scores: Most programs require an overall IELTS of 6.5; your current score is 6.0, so you may need to retake IELTS or consider TOEFL/PTE (requirements vary by university)
- Proof of funds (bank statements or GIC for Canada)
- Passport copy
- GRE/GMAT scores if required by your chosen program
Requirements can differ by university and program. If your degree was taught in English, some universities may accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter.
If you need help preparing or submitting these documents, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the next steps.
