Academic Requirements

All graduate programs at the University of Regina are competitive. Students who meet the minimum criteria noted below may not be accepted as programs generally receive more applicants than they can admit. Students with the most competitive applications (e.g. higher average, more experience, etc.) are the ones offered acceptance into graduate programs.

Master’s Degree:

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).
Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.

International Students:

The WES iGPA Calculator provides a grade conversion based on the most common grading scales. This information is helpful in ensuring your completed degree program meets the entry standards for U of R graduate programs. The equivalent score to 70% at the U of R is 2.67 out of 4.00 as per the WES calculator.
Transcripts may be required to be evaluated by WES in some cases.

For any clarification and support regarding the Academic Requirements, please contact LOA Portal's advisors.

Language Requirements

International applicants, except those who attended universities where the language of instruction was English, must submit proof of English proficiency, usually in the form of recognized tests. The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) accepts the following English proficiency tests:

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): Minimum score of 80 Internet-based.
CAEL (Canadian Academic English Language Assessment): Minimum score of 70.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System): Minimum score of 6.5 overall, with no band lower than 6.0.
PTE (Pearson Test of English): Minimum score of 59.
MET (Michigan English Test): Minimum score of 54.
U of R ESL (English as a Second Language): Completion of EAP 100/101.
Duolingo English Test: Minimum score of 125 overall, with 120 for Speaking, Writing, and Reading, and 115 for Listening.

Please note that a minimum score may render an applicant ineligible for graduate teaching assistantships.

If a student is taking ESL at the University, they must successfully complete EAP 100/101 in order to be considered for graduate work. EAP 100/101 does not meet the minimum English proficiency requirements for some programs. For those programs, students are required to take a different test to meet Academic Requirements.
