Eligibility Requirements for International Graduates

If you have a degree that is equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the United States, you are entitled to apply as a graduate student.

The following requirements must be met:

• Your graduate programme will establish the minimal English language proficiency required. Please see the list of criteria below.
• Above average class status at an internationally recognised college or university: a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is recommended.
• Additional prerequisites, such as department applications, letters of recommendation, portfolios, auditions, or tests, may apply to some master's programmes (e.g., GMAT, GRE, MAT). Graduate students should verify with their respective graduate programmes. Additional requirements and deadlines are available in a new window. Applicants in engineering and computer science should visit HERE for further information on the application process.
• A limited amount of transfer coursework may be applied toward unit requirements for a master's degree by graduate students. Transfer coursework is subject to the graduate studies office's policies. This link will open in a new window.

Transcripts

Following your application to the university, you will be required to produce transcripts demonstrating your past education. The academic record is referred to as a "transcript" in the United States. These documents may be referred to as mark sheets, leaving certificates, or maturity certificates in other nations. To complete your application for a Master's programme, you may be required to submit additional papers.
