Education

Normally, applicants are required to have an acceptable undergraduate degree with at least a B+ average. Applicants are also required to submit:

• Faculty of Graduate Studies admissions application form
• two official copies of transcripts of all post-secondary education
• three letters of reference (preferably two should be from university faculty members; however, professional referees may be used if the applicant is unable to provide two references from university faculty members)
• a r\xc3\xa9sum\xc3\xa9 or curriculum vitae
• a statement of interest (minimum 500 words in length) outlining how graduate studies in education might serve the applicant\'s academic and/or professional interests, and what is of interest to the applicant in the graduate programme
• one sample of written work (e.g., a paper demonstrating how the applicant works with a body of literature or builds an argument; typically, the sample paper is from a university course completed within the past five years.)
  Note: If unable to provide a sample of written work, the applicant should provide an extended statement of interest not to exceed 1500 words.

Application files are assessed on the basis of the information contained within the file as a whole. Consideration is given to the combined profile of demonstrated academic standing, professional background and experience, potential to pursue and benefit from graduate studies, and compatibility of interests between the applicant and the Graduate Programme in Education: Language, Culture and Teaching.
