Get Help with Graduate Admissions

All applications must be submitted through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre. Once your application has been received by the graduate admissions office, you will receive an email from Toronto Metropolitan University with steps for completing your application. Visit How to Apply for an outline of the process.

The deadline for first consideration can be found on the Application Dates page.
Prospective students are encouraged to submit applications prior to the first consideration date to increase their chances of securing financial support and to be considered for prestigious and competitive awards, such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and the Toronto Metropolitan University Graduate Scholarship, among others.

The program may continue to accept applications after the first consideration deadline, until it has filled all available openings. If the program is closed and no longer reviewing applications for the current intake, it will be listed under 'Closed and/or Closing Soon'.

Admission requirements vary from one program to another. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Please review the requirements listed on your program page carefully.

While not required, PhD, MArch and MASc candidates are strongly encouraged to contact faculty to discuss research plans and to find an appropriate supervisor prior to admission. For more information, visit Find a Supervisor or contact your program administrator.

The requirements for the statement of interest, also called a statement of thesis intent, vary from one program to another. Applicants should refer to their individual program page for detailed requirements when applying.

Select programs like Architecture and Building Science require students submit a portfolio or dossier as part of their application. Requirements are specific to each program.

TMU offers many options to help you fund your graduate education.Visit our Funding Options page for more information as well as available TMU-wide graduate scholarships and awards.

Additionally, all research students (MASc, PhD) are offered a minimum guaranteed funding package that is a combination of: a research stipend from the supervisor; a scholarship; and/or a graduate or research assistantship. You will be notified in writing by your program of the amount and the method of distribution of funds, either with your offer of admission or soon afterward. MBSc students do not qualify for funding.

Architecture students are also encouraged to apply for the limited number of graduate assistantships offered in that department.

If you have not completed two or more years, full time, at a Canadian university or a university where English was the primary language of instruction, or if you have not completed a graduate degree at a university where English was the primary language of instruction, you will be required to provide certification of English language proficiency through one of the accepted examinations. Scores are valid for two years from the test date.

Meeting the minimum English proficiency requirements does not guarantee admission. Programs may set additional requirements to these minimum standards.

For exemption from this requirement, applicants are required to provide an official statement from the registrar’s office of their institution confirming the use of English as the medium of instruction for the duration of their study.
