Graduate Admissions

Laurentian University offers a unique experience to graduates, including the opportunity to work with leading academics and researchers.

To be admitted, students should normally hold an appropriate bachelor's degree at the Honours level, or its equivalent, with at least second class standing (70% average of all courses)*. Students with a general degree will need to complete a full qualifying year beyond the general degree before being considered. To enter a qualifying year, students should have at least a second-class standing in their major subject. Successful completion of courses during a qualifying year does not ensure automatic admission to a graduate program, nor does meeting minimum requirements. 

* Individual departments may require a higher average.
