About Yorkville University

Yorkville is a private university, offering a mix of online and on-campus programs. They focus on providing a flexible learning experience that helps you get a valid qualification. Their motto? Bridging the gap between theory and practice. That's why their programs combine classroom learning with real-world applications.

Before applying, it's important to choose the program that interests you. Keep in mind that some programs might not be offered year-round at every campus.

Getting Admitted to Yorkville University

There are two main ways to study in Canada: entrance exams or submitting program-specific documents. For Yorkville, international students applying for study permits will need to submit translated and scanned documents to the admissions office. 

This helps them issue your official acceptance letter (aka your student visa application lifeline!). Good news! Both Yorkville's Toronto and Vancouver campuses accept international students.

What You'll Need to Apply

• English Language Proof: You can show this through an IELTS score (6.0 or higher), TOEFL score (80 or higher), Duolingo score (105 or higher), or by taking an English course for at least 12 weeks after high school.
• Previous Education Certificates: Get your diploma, transcripts, and any degrees translated and officially approved by Yorkville's admissions team.
• Academic & Professional Resume: Showcase your skills and experience.
• Application Fee: It's CAD $75, so make sure to have it ready.
• Completed Application Form: Fill it out accurately and don't miss anything!

Yorkville understands that English might not be your first language. If your score on a valid English test is a bit lower (below 5.5), you can still get in! However, you'll need to take the ESL Pathway program at the Toronto campus first. It's a 12-week program with 25 hours of training per week to get you up to speed before starting your regular studies.

Deadlines and Schedules

At Yorkville University, the academic year runs from September to August. Their undergraduate programs are broken down into four 12-week semesters, starting in October, January, April, and July. Good news – they accept applications for all four semesters! International students applying for study permits should aim to apply at least 3 months before the semester you want to start.
