Admission Requirements

 

Normally, students will be required to have an Honours Bachelor degree in either Philosophy or Classics with an average grade of B+ or higher in the last two years or last ten half courses. In addition, students will typically be required to have taken an introductory course in at least one ancient language (Greek or Latin).  However, students with only some introductory language training may also be considered for admission.

For more information about the program contact Susan Bock sbock@uwo.ca (Administrative Assistant to the Program).

Prospective students are advised that offers of admission to the Program may be made only after the University's own quality assurance processes have been completed and the Ontario Universities' Council on Quality Assurance has approved the Program.  We fully expect these processes will be complete before the application deadline.

Online applications must include two letters of reference, a statement of academic interests (250-500 words), a recent writing sample (10-15 pages, double-spaced), one copy of official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate studies, and payment of the required non-refundable fee of $90 CDN. TOEFL score are also required for foreign applicants whose degree is not from an English speaking country.
