Only complete applications will be considered. Interested candidates should (a) ask their university(ies) to send two originals of each transcript, and (b) request that original confidential letters of recommendation be sent by professors familiar with their work. Letters must be originals, must be dated within the last two years, and must be written on official university letterhead, otherwise they will not 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 submit documented proof of competency in English by a TOEFL, iBT, or IELTS. The original test report must be sent by the testing centre, i.e., a photocopy sent by the applicant is not acceptable.

Applicants from some countries are exempt from providing evidence of English language proficiency. For more information, see www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply/prepare/requirements/proficiency.
