Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, the University of Ottawa offers the best of both worlds: you can live and study in English or in French, with the opportunity to become fully bilingual.

• Have obtained, or be in the process of obtaining, your Senior High School Graduation Diploma or Upper Middle School Graduation Certificate. (Please note that we do not consider the Huikao or Gaokao results during the admission process.)
• Have a minimum average of 75% and have passed a minimum of five subjects (including the program prerequisites) during your final year (requirements might be higher depending on the program of study you choose).
• Submit an English proficiency test. If you are applying to a program offered in English, the completion of the English prerequisite in your Senior year is mandatory to be considered for admission.

Space is limited and admission is competitive and not guaranteed. We reserve the right to deny admission even if an applicant meets all requirements.

If you are currently studying in a French lycée or studying another recognized curriculum  such as the International Baccalaureate,  GCE curriculum or an American-patterned curriculum,   see our information specific to your situation.

Once you have submitted your application and received your acknowledgment of receipt, you can submit your documents in uoZone. If you are currently in your Senior 3 or Grade 12, submit the following documents:

• Transcripts for the past three years of secondary studies
• English proficiency test results
• Transcript for the first term of your final year (Senior 3 or Grade 12)

If you have already graduated, submit the following documents:

• Transcripts for your last three years of secondary studies
• Senior High School Graduation Diploma or Upper Middle School Graduation Certificate
• English proficiency test results

Some international students can receive their study permits sooner by applying through the SDS, since Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will process most eligible SDS applications within 20 calendar days. Learn more about the Student Direct Stream.

If you have completed some postsecondary studies, you will be evaluated based on them, even if you are applying for an undergraduate program.

We may grant you advanced standing (i.e., transfer your credits), depending on the program to which you apply. Faculties that grant advanced standing base their decision on the discipline, the courses you have completed and the length of your studies.
