   Getting in

The university’s website is the place to confirm language requirements, how to submit transcripts, and whether your chosen subject has extra steps.

   What it costs

   Tuition is charged in CAD, but the university does not publish a fee range here; confirm the current international tuition with the admissions office. Living costs in Victoria and nearby areas will depend on housing, transport, and daily spending, so plan a separate budget for those.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated here, so confirm it on the official website before applying. Before you decide, check whether your programme has specific entrance requirements, what documents you need, how long the application process takes, and what support is available for international students after arrival.
