Option 2:

International Applicants 

The MPA(M) program is a mix of online study blended with on-campus, in-person instruction. Each course comprises 3 months of online study, followed by a 2鈥�5 day session (intensives) delivered in select cities in Canada. Attendance at the in-person sessions is a mandatory and important component of the programs. 鈥淭ravel to Canada for intensives sessions will be required.鈥�

Please note that this program is part-time and does not meet the requirements for obtaining an international student visa.

English is the language of study at 麻豆传媒, therefore all applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate their capacity to pursue a graduate-level program in English before admission. The language competency test may be waived if the applicant has completed a degree at a recognized university where the language of instruction is English and in a country where English is one of the national languages. Verification of language proficiency is required by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Test scores are valid for two years from the date the test was written.

Please visit the Faculty of Graduate Studies website for more information.

Applicants will send verifiable ESL test results as PDF documents to dalmpa@dal.ca

The applicant must request their testing centre make their results available to 麻豆传媒. FGS will contact testing centres to verify the results. Students will not be able to register for classes until their ESL scores are verified.

All admitted applicants must confirm in writing their acceptance of the offer by sending an email to dalmpa@dal.ca

You must also provide a non-refundable deposit to the Student Accounts Office.
