Our program will be accepting international applications into our MA program for a Fall 2023 intake. Due to the structure of the federal/ provincial funding process, which prioritizes Canadian citizens and permanent residents, we are only able to admit one international applicant into our MA program on a bi-annual basis. For this current admission cycle (2023-24), we will be accepting international applicants.
Degree Equivalencies: Applicants whose degrees were obtained outside North America should check the SGS Admission Requirements. The International Degree Equivalencies Chart will help you assess whether you are eligible for entry into our graduate program.
English-Language Proficiency Testing: If your primary language is not English and you have graduated from a non-Canadian University where the language of instruction and examination was not English, then you must demonstrate your facility in English. This can be accomplished by completing either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or its equivalent. This requirement must be met at the time of application. Additional information can be found at the University of Toronto International Admissions site.
Ukrainian Students: If you are a student that has been affected by the war in Ukraine and are seeking admission to the University of Toronto, please see https:/www.sgs.utoronto.ca/pathways-ukraine/ for information on how to apply.
All applications are submitted to the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies (SGS) using the Slate Admissions Application system. The portal allows applicants to manage and submit biographical and educational information, as well as required supporting documents (i.e. Personal Statement, etc.) immediately and directly to the University. Applicants can edit in-progress applications prior to the deadline and check the status of all documents submitted using a secure password and User ID.
Applications will be considered official once the application fee is paid and all application materials submitted by the deadline. Materials and/ or payment received after the deadline will not be considered and will result in an incomplete application that will not be reviewed.

Students enrolled in the MA and PhD programs receive a financial assistance package based on a combination of components (e.g., scholarships, fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships). Currently, our program offers students in good academic standing a guaranteed minimum funding package of $23,000 plus tuition and incidental fees each year for a total of 6 years (2 MA years and 4 PhD years). Beyond the guaranteed minimum funding package, it is expected that competitive applicants will be applying for graduate awards and scholarships. For more information on award descriptions and deadlines, please visit: Graduate Awards & Scholarships.
