Admission is limited and competitive.
Preference will normally be given to applicants who hold an appropriate Honours degree either from Memorial University, or from another university whose Honours degree is of comparable standing. Applicants whose mother tongue is not English are reminded that a high degree of literacy in English is required of students at the University. In most cases instruction is in English, and examinations are to be written in English. An applicant may be required to pass a qualifying examination. Some Departments have particular regulations in addition to these, and applicants are advised to turn to the relevant parts of this Calendar and acquaint themselves with both the General Regulations and the regulations of the programme in which they are interested.
