Application information

Entry requirements

Four-year degree or equivalent and have an average of at least 70% in the last two years of full-time study. Additional Requirements. Students entering the MMJC must have mastered basic writing skills, including grammar, syntax, and the ability to conceptualize and articulate ideas in writing. The Admissions Panel assumes the entrance essay provided by applicants is entirely their own work and is an accurate reflection of their writing ability. Journalism and communication, by necessity, require their practitioners to produce clean, competent copy on deadline, often without the benefit of external editing or extensive rewriting. Students who do not meet the expectations of writing may not achieve marks necessary for progression and could be required to withdraw from the program.. Application deadline: February 1

Graduate programmes charge Fall, Winter and Summer terms; Ivey MBA Direct has a July intake, the Accelerated MBA a November intake, and the Executive MBA September and February intakes. Deadlines and intake terms vary by programme.

Each graduate programme sets its own application deadlines, which may differ for domestic and international applicants. Applications are made through Western's online graduate application. The application fee is $185 CAD for most graduate programmes; $290 for Communication Sciences and Disorders (MClSc), Occupational Therapy (MSc OT) and Physical Therapy (MPT); $150 for Ivey MBA and Ivey MSc; $350 for Orthodontics.
