University of Toronto Admission 2027: Deadlines, Requirements, Fees for International Students

Admission at a glance

The University of Toronto teaches on three campuses, St. George in downtown Toronto, Mississauga and Scarborough, and treats them as one university for admission purposes even though some programs are campus specific. International undergraduate applicants who attended high school outside Canada apply either through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) or, if they live outside Canada and have never studied in Canada, through the university's own International Application. Admission is based mainly on the applicant's results in the final years of secondary school in the specific subjects each program requires, such as calculus for programs with a mathematics prerequisite; there is no single minimum average published for all programs, since the university reviews applicants against the grade profile of admitted students in that year. Programs such as Computer Science, Commerce and Theatre and Drama Studies ask for a supplementary application, profile or audition in addition to grades. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet one of several ways to demonstrate English proficiency, most commonly an IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or Duolingo score, unless they qualify for an exemption such as several years of full-time study in English. The university publishes a yearly international admissions bulletin with the current deadlines, English test minimums and tuition ranges for all three campuses, and this is the most reliable single source for an applicant comparing programs across faculties.

Requirements

Bachelor

Admission is based on the applicant's academic record in the final two years of secondary school, in the specific prerequisite subjects the chosen program lists (for example, calculus for most Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering programs). There is no single published minimum average; competitiveness varies by program and by year. Applicants from an international curriculum (IB, A Level, French Baccalaureat, US high school and others) are assessed against system specific guidance the university publishes. Some programs, including Computer Science at St. George, Commerce, and Theatre and Drama Studies at Mississauga, require a supplementary application, portfolio or audition.

Graduate

Requirements are set by the individual graduate unit (department or faculty); applicants should check the specific program page for the required undergraduate background, references and, for research programs, a supervisor or research proposal.
