Most Canadian universities require a minimum of 70% to 75% in your undergraduate degree for admission to master's programs, including Public Health. Top public universities often look for at least a 70% overall average, especially in your final two years.

Requirements can vary by university and program. Some may consider slightly lower percentages if you have strong work experience or relevant postgraduate qualifications.

If your percentage is below this range, you may still have options through pathway programs or by strengthening your application with a strong statement of purpose and recommendations.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
