Entry requirements

Applicants interested in the double major program in History and Philosophy must apply for admission to one of the major programs (Arts and Contemporary Studies, Criminology, Economics and Finance, English, Environmental and Urban Sustainability, Geographic Analysis, History, Language and Intercultural Relations, Philosophy, Politics and Governance, Psychology or Sociology), or to Undeclared Arts. Students are not admitted directly to a double major. The Faculty of Arts accepts applications for transfer to a double major program in the second semester of studies. Approved transfer students commence studies in the double major program in second year.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Undergraduate admission is for the Fall term (Fall 2027 admission is open for applications). Some undergraduate programmes accept international applicants for winter admission (January start), subject to space availability.

Fall 2027 admission: the guaranteed consideration date for applications to all programmes is February 1; complete applications and amendments received by this date receive equal consideration, and many programmes continue to accept applications afterwards. The OUAC application deadline is in January. Grades-Plus programmes have programme-specific deadlines for non-academic requirements, submitted through the ChooseTMU Applicant Portal.
