In general, the minimum academic requirements for entry into a Master's program, for both domestic and international students, are either: 1) a four-year Bachelor's degree, or 2) a three-year Bachelor's degree plus a Master's degree (a limited number of three-year Bachelor's programs are accepted as equivalent to four-year programs). Lastly, we receive many more applications each year from excellent candidates than we have placements available, which means that meeting the minimum FGSR admissions requirement does not guarantee admission into a Biology graduate program, thus we strongly recommend finding a research supervisor prior to applying for admission via FGSR.


A graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 per cent. Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 per cent or more).IELTS - 6.5 overall, 6.0 each, TOEFL IBT - 80, 20 each band ,TOEFL (paper) 20, 20, 20, PTE - 59
