International admission requirements
Curriculum
-
British-Patterned Education
Successful completion of the General Certificate of Education (GCE) including at least five different IGCSE/GCSE/Ordinary Level academic subjects and a minimum of two Advanced Level (A/A2 Level) academic subjects; minimum grades of C.
All programs have English as an academic subject pre-requisite, which can be presented at the ordinary level. This requirement is distinct and separate from the English proficiency requirement. Math and Science program prerequisites should be completed at the Advanced/A2 Level; however, some programs may consider subjects presented at the Ordinary and/or Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level provided the applicant has excellent grades all-round.
Accordingly, applicants interested in our Bachelor of Engineering degrees must present Mathematics and either Physics or Chemistry at the Advanced Level. Both Physics and Chemistry are recommended; however, if only one is presented at the Advanced Level, the other must be presented at the IGCSE/GCSE/Ordinary or AS Level for admission consideration.
Official final results should be sent directly to the university by the external examination body (AQA, Cambridge International Examinations, Pearson EdExcel, etc.).
Applicants may be considered for conditional admission on the basis of predicted results while in progress in the GCE A/A2 Level courses. Ideally, midterm or in-progress A/A2 Level marks should accompany predicted results. These midterm, predicted and final IGCSE/GCSE/Ordinary Level results must be submitted to the university directly from the institutions attended.
Applicants presenting BTEC credentials (Level 3 and above) will be considered on a case-by-case basis; all academic subject pre-requisites/admission requirements of the program of interest must be met, and a WES course-by-course assessment is required upon application. BTEC credentials will not be considered for admission consideration to early deadline programs, e.g., Nursing, Computer Science, and Medical Laboratory Science. Please contact admissions@ontariotechu.ca for more information.

For Engineering and Science degrees, the mathematics courses accepted are Analysis and Approaches HL or SL, or Applications and Interpretation HL.
Final IB results must be made available to the university online by the International Baccalaureate office.
If you are not completing the full IB Diploma, individual IB courses may be considered for admission. Official transcripts and proof of high school graduation must be submitted directly from your institution.
