Ï㽶ÊÓƵ

The general rules of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies apply and are detailed in Graduate Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and Application Procedures. The minimum academic standard for admission is a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0/4.0 in a recognized program. Alternatively, an equivalent grade point average of no less than 3.2/4.0 over the last two years of the program will be accepted.

Applicants to graduate studies whose mother tongue is not English, and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction or from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone), must write the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language; preferably the Internet-based test) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Ph.D. applicants must achieve a minimum overall score of 92 (or minimum 580 on the paper-based test), with a minimum score of 20 for each component (i.e., Writing, Reading, Speaking, Listening); or, achieve a minimum band score of 7 for the IELTS in order to apply. Master's applicants must achieve an overall minimum TOEFL score of 86 (or minimum 567 on the paper-based test), with a minimum score of 20 for each component; or, achieve a minimum band score of 6.5 for the IELTS in order to apply. Test results reach McGill approximately eight weeks after the test is taken; please note that it is the student's responsibility to make the necessary arrangements with the examining board to write the test in his/her country of residence. Full information about the test, and a registration form, may be obtained by consulting the TOEFL () or the IELTS () websites.
