平特五不中

Our application period is from 15 September to 1听December for a Fall admission. We cannot provide a pre-assessment of application documents. Please consult our admissions criteria and FAQ page to see whether you meet our minimum requirements.

平特五不中 MScPH students come from a variety of academic backgrounds including the basic sciences, health sciences, engineering as well as social sciences, such as sociology and economics. We particularly welcome applicants who are returning to academia after spending time in the work force. Successful applicants will have a demonstrated capacity in analytic and quantitative methods, but life and work experience are also an important aspect of the applicant profile.

Admission Requirements

1. A Bachelor's degree in a related area:听Basic sciences, health sciences, engineering, social sciences (such as sociology, economics, political science), and the health professions.听
2. Substantial quantitative skills:听The admissions committee will look for proof of quantitative proficiency, grades B+ or above in at least two听undergraduate-level courses in differential or integral calculus, or in other university level mathematics or statistics courses.
3. A cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.0/4.0, or minimum听3.2/4.0 over the last two years of study:听GPA calculations are done by the university. Please do not submit external transcript evaluations.
4. Proof of English language proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS); only in certain cases

OPTIONAL: For international health professionals, and other applicants without significant quantitative training on their transcript, GRE results with a strong result (80^th percentile) in the Quantitative score, may strengthen your application.

NOTE: Meeting the听general requirements does not guarantee admission. As the MScPH is a non-thesis program, applicants do not need to identify a supervisor before applying. While the language of instruction is English, some practicum placement sites in Quebec require a working knowledge of French. The language for placement sites outside of Quebec is generally English.
