Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

Application Documentation:

  • Applicants must submit an electronic application and fee. All university transcripts must be uploaded onto McGill\'s application website. McGill will request letters of recommendation on your behalf from referees you identify on your application form.
  • Applicants should submit a CV, statement of research interests and personal goals. This should be sent to us by email, (link above) or regular mail. These documents can not be uploaded onto McGill\'s system.
  • Original transcripts, or copies certified by the originating institution, of all university-level studies, must be uploaded to the McGill system. If the transcripts do not mention the granting of the degree, a document (diploma) attesting to the granting of the degree must also be submitted. The grading scale used by the originating institution must be provided as part of your documentation.
  • Two letters of recommendation, written by a person who has a good understanding of the candidate\'s academic capabilities, either by having taught the candidate, or by having served in a supervisory role (research supervisor, or employer). These letters must be printed on the letterhead of the university or the referee\'s organization, and uploaded to the McGill application system.
  • Although not required, results from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are also helpful to evaluate international applications, and are therefore highly recommended, particularly if applicants wish to be considered for funding.
  • Non-Canadian applicants whose mother tongue is not English and who have not completed an undergraduate degree using the English language are required to submit documented proof of competency in oral and written English. A photocopy can be submitted as an unofficial document, but must be followed by an official document or electronic communication sent directly from the testing organization. The MCHE is not considered equivalent.

English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
