A MASTER’S DEGREE IN CANADA
MASTER’S DEGREE IN CANADA FOR BOTH PERSONAL AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
While a popular choice for undergraduate studies, you may also consider Canadian universities for your master’s degree.
As one of the most livable countries in the world, you can develop on a personal and cultural level at the same time as receiving a great education.
So, what are the requirements to do a master’s in Canada and how does the Canadian education system work?
YOU CAN DO YOUR MASTER’S DEGREE IN ENGLISH AT CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES.
As in the case of undergraduate education, you need to prove a sufficient level of English to study for a master’s degree.
You can do this by entering the IELTS or TOEFL exams and submitting your results to the universities you want to apply to.
However, in comparison with undergraduate degrees, higher IELTS or TOEFL points may be required for a master’s course.
If your level of English is below the required level to study for a master’s in Canada, you can attend either an IELTS /TOEFL course at a language school or an academic English course that will prepare you for university education in English.
YOU CAN APPLY TO ANY UNIVERSITY IN CANADA WITH YOUR BACHELOR’S DIPLOMA.
Each university in Canada has different entry requirements.
However, the main common requirement is your GPA from your undergraduate studies.
This is particularly important as you may wish to study for a master’s in a different field than your bachelor’s degree.
If your GPA is not sufficient for your master’s degree application in Canada, you can compensate for it by attending a pre-master’s course.
TO ACHIEVE A SUFFICIENT GPA (GRADE POINT AVERAGE) YOU CAN ATTEND A PRE-MASTER’S PROGRAM.
Pre-Master’s programs are usually offered to international students who want to study for a master’s degree in Canada.
To be accepted into this program, a sufficient level of English is required. (You may use your IELTS or TOEFL points to indicate your level of English).
With a Pre-master’s program, you will add to your knowledge of English with academic and creative writing skills, debating and listening skills, and knowledge of basic academic terminology.
For the duration of this program, which is normally 12 months, you can also attend classes in the subject you wish to study at master’s level.
For instance, should you wish to study for a master’s degree in business administration in Canada, you can attend introductory courses on topics such as business communication or marketing.
Another advantage of a Pre-master’s program is that it allows you to adapt to the way of life and education system in Canada before you begin your postgraduate studies, making the transition easier.
YOU CAN ATTEND A ‘PRE-MBA’ COURSE BEFORE STUDYING FOR A FULL MBA IN CANADA.
If you do not meet the required GPA to study for an MBA at your university of choice in Canada, you may attend a pre-MBA program.
During this program, for which a sufficient level of English is again a requirement, you can prepare for both academic life and your MBA education.
During your pre-MBA education, you will gain many skills that will prepare you for your MBA, such as information analysis, essay writing according to certain standards and academic rules, business research, data organization and analysis, and how to use online financial data platforms.
You can improve your professional English knowledge during these courses which last a maximum of one year
YOU CAN STUDY FOR A MASTER’S DEGREE IN CANADA WİTH A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF ENGLISH AND A GPA OF THE REQUIRED AMOUNT.
Provided you meet the required GPA (Grade Point Average) and have a sufficient level of English, you can earn a quality master’s degree in Canada from the university of your choosing.
During your post-graduate education, which will last between one and a half and two years depending on your chosen department, you can participate in field trips, projects, and group studies in addition to your regular classes.
In some post-graduate departments, you can also participate in training programs abroad and therefore have the opportunity to visit many developed countries including Australia, Austria, and France.
In most post-graduate departments in Canada you can prepare a thesis and in so doing ensure a high credit.
At most universities in Canada, you can also gain work experience in the country by doing either a paid or unpaid internship related to your field of study.
YOU CAN GET A WORK PERMIT IN CANADA AFTER COMPLETING YOUR MASTER’S DEGREE.
One of the reasons why many foreign students choose Canada to do their master’s degree is the work permit available upon completion of their education.
While you are permitted to work part-time for up to 20 hours a week for the duration of your education, you can gain real work experience after completing your degree.
After completing your 2-year master’s degree in Canada, you can obtain a 1-3 year work permit related to your field of study, and embark on your work life as a fully prepared adult.
In so doing, you can recoup your education expenses and add the experience of working in a developed country such as Canada to your CV.
