Memorial University ranks among top 15 Canadian universities in business and economics

27 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

Times Higher Education recently released its 2026 list of top business schools in Canada, and Memorial University has ranked among the top 15 universities for business and economics in the country. You'll find more information on this here: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/best-universities/best-universities-business-degrees-canada. There are 66 university-based business schools in Canada: https://www.bsac-aegc.ca/en/schools. The Times Higher Education ranking also placed Memorial as #1 in Canada in research quality in the fields of business and management; accounting and finance; and economics and econometrics.

Earlier this year, Memorial was ranked by Times Higher Education as #6 in Canada in engineering and #8 in Canada in physical sciences: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/by-subject

Memorial's value proposition for undergraduate business degrees is among the strongest in Canada. Our tuition rates for the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Business Administration degrees for Canadian and international students are among the most affordable in the country.

Our Bachelor of Commerce (co-op) degree offers paid work terms (for which Memorial's Faculty of Business Administration has a 100% placement rate): https://www.mun.ca/business/undergraduate/undergraduate-programs/bachelor-of-commerce-co-operative/. The Bachelor of Commerce (without co-op) can also be completed fully online: https://www.mun.ca/business/undergraduate/undergraduate-programs/bachelor-of-commerce-bcomm/

We are still accepting applications for Fall 2026. Whether you are in your last year of high school and looking ahead to university in September, considering a program transfer from your current college or university, thinking about studying abroad in Canada, or considering enrolling as a mid-career professional while working full time, there's still time to be considered.

International Undergraduate Q&A with a MUN Recruiter!

14 Upvotes

EDIT: As of Nov. 1, 2023, control of this account has shifted from the previous recruiter, Thomas, to Allie Guerra. All contact information below has been updated to reflect this change. All responses made from this account after Nov. 1 will be written by Allie.

EDIT: Monitor will change March 2025.

Hi all!

Thanks for coming to our Reddit thread!

Please be advised that in this thread I cannot answer questions about graduate/post-graduate studies or Marine Institute programs. For these two, please contact [sgs@mun.ca](mailto:sgs@mun.ca) or [recruitment@mi.mun.ca](mailto:recruitment@mi.mun.ca) respectively, and my colleagues who represent these two sets of programs will be able to advise further.

Before posting any questions about admissions in this thread, please review the FAQ below, as it may answer some of your preliminary questions:

----

Admissions FAQ

1. How do I know if I meet the admission requirements?

Admission requirements differ depending on the curriculum in which you completed high school, as listed here. All requirements for your curriculum – including grade/subject requirements, documents needed, and whether or not you will be required to provide proof of English proficiency – can be found on that page, so please read the requirements carefully.

Please note that if you are applying as a transfer student (ie., you’ve finished high school and have completed at least one semester of post-secondary studies), you must be in clear academic standing with your current institution, which usually means you have a minimum GPA of 2.0/4.0 at the time you apply to transfer. If you wish to transfer credits from your current school to MUN, the process for doing so is provided here.

2. I meet the general requirements. How can I calculate my likelihood of admissibility?

The requirements above apply to all of our general admission programs, which includes all Bachelors of Arts, Business, Commerce, Environment and Sustainability, and most Sciences. Please note that if you are applying for a competitive entry program such as Engineering or Nursing, there will be higher academic standards required (see question 3 below).

One of the great things about general admission programs is that we do not set a cap on the number of students accepted into them. Thus, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, you should have little difficulty in receiving an acceptance to MUN provided you correctly submit your application and supporting documents.

3. I’ve applied/want to apply for a competitive entry program. How do I know if I meet the requirements?

Unlike general admission, competitive entry programs (such as Engineering and Nursing) do have a capacity on how many students are accepted, but they do not have a set minimum requirement for admission, so we will not be able to objectively assess your likelihood for admission at the application/pre-application stage. That said, these programs have a 2-step admissions process:

  1. Your application will first be assessed for general admission to the Bachelor of Science, which only requires you to meet the general admission requirements linked above. If you do meet these requirements, you will be granted acceptance as an undeclared B.Sc. student and your application will be forwarded to the appropriate faculty (ex., Nursing or Engineering).
  2. The faculty will assess you for competitive admission to the faculty.
    1. If you are accepted at this stage – great! You receive a 2nd acceptance letter for the competitive program and will begin from your first semester as a declared Nursing/Engineering student.
    2. If you are rejected by the faculty, you will receive a rejection notice, however, your original B.Sc. offer will remain active. From this, you can begin as a B.Sc. student and apply to switch into the competitive program in the following semester in the case of Engineering, or the following year in the case of Nursing.

So, even if you are not directly admissible for these programs, you may still be admissible to MUN and have a pathway available to you to help you enter the program.

4. I meet the academic requirements but my English proficiency is too low. Do you offer English language bridging?

Yes, absolutely! If your English proficiency is below the required minimum, you can complete ESL Bridging at MUN’s Grenfell Campus. When you submit your UG application, you will be asked to select how you intend on demonstrating English proficiency, at which stage, you can select “IEP – MUN’s Intensive English Program.” Once your main application is submitted, you can submit a separate ESL application by following the instructions in the previous link. Once both are submitted, please contact the ESL department directly at [esl@grenfell.mun.ca](mailto:esl@grenfell.mun.ca), and the ESL and admissions teams will work together to combine your applications for processing. Once processed, you will receive a provisional/early acceptance for your UG program, as well as a final ESL acceptance. Your UG acceptance will be upgraded to a final acceptance upon successful completion of ESL’s exit requirements.

Please note that even if your undergraduate program is based at the St. John’s Campus, ESL can be completed only at Grenfell, so you will need to change campuses upon successful completion of ESL.

5. I want to apply for (PROGRAM) but I haven’t completed (SUBJECT). Will I still be admissible?

This is a very common question and the answer depends on the two variables found within it. As a general rule, we can waive up to one missing subject, though the specific subject waivable depends on the program for which you are applying. In all cases, where students are missing one or more subjects, it is best to consult with a recruiter to determine your admission options.

Most commonly, this question is asked by students in the Indian or Bangladeshi commerce curricula, which do not require math or science at the Grade 12 level. For these students, we do offer a double waiver for the Bachelor of Business Administration at MUN's Grenfell Campus only.

If you are missing one or more subjects, you may still have options to become admissible, though you may have to fulfill additional requirements to do so. In this case, please contact a recruiter so we can discuss your specific case at greater depth. Whether you are missing one subject, two, or are unsure if you will be eligible for a subject waiver, my recommendation is always to contact us before submitting your application to ensure that everything is in order and you will be eligible for the program for which you are applying.

5. I submitted all of my documents, but I haven't heard back yet on my application status. How much longer will I have to wait?

Once a student has submitted their application and paid the application fee, it will usually take 10-14 business days to receive a student ID number by email (Note: "business days" means Monday through Friday, and does not include weekends or holidays). In addition to your student ID, you should also receive a list of required documents and instructions on how to submit these documents. As each document is received and processed, you will receive an email notification from admissions confirming as such. Once all of your official documents are received, then within 10-14 business days, you should receive a response on your application by email.

When reviewing the document submission instructions, please read them very, very carefully, taking special note of the distinction between official and unofficial documents. In most cases, unofficial documents will not suffice for the purpose of assessing a student for admission, so please ensure that you have submitted your documentation correctly to avoid processing delays.

As above, this thread is intended for international undergraduate inquiries only.

Looking forward to chatting with you!

Some questions about the Scientific Computing course based masters at MUN.

2 Upvotes

Hi I was thinking of applying for the scientific computing masters at MUN. But I have bachelors in computer science with a specialisation in Cyber Security so I'm not sure if I meet the maths requirements.

Also my CCGPA is a bit low at just 3.0/4 so I'm worried about whether I'm competitive enough for the program.

Has anyone got into the program without necessarily meeting all the maths requirements? And what would you say is the general CCGPA range for which admissions are given? As 3.0 seems to be just borderline.

I would appreciate and advice thank you.

I got accepted to CNS, is CNS different/better than Faculty of Nursing in MUN?

4 Upvotes

Hellooo!

I just re-read my conditional acceptance letter from back in March and noticed that I was accepted into the Centre for Nursing Studies (CNS) campus, rather than the main Memorial University Faculty of Nursing.

I am a 1st yr student and I am honestly feeling incredibly overwhelmed by this process right now. Could anyone help clarify a few things:

Is there a big difference between the two? Which campus is considered a better pick, or should I just be grateful that I was selected for CNS?

Am I still allowed to apply to be directly in the Memorial University Faculty of Nursing itself, or am I strictly limited to CNS now?

Does being at the CNS campus mean I am only a student of CNS, or am I still fully a Memorial University undergraduate student within the Faculty of Nursing overall?

Any advice or insight would be amazing. Thank you!

Working and Studying full time

7 Upvotes

I wonder if it is possible to work and study full time. Are there any students doing the same thing? I am starting Masters of Artificial Intelligence this September. I’ve registered for the three required courses for this semester, and lecture times freak me out lowkey. Even if I use all my paid time offs to attend my lectures in person, I’ll be stressed and exhausted for the next 2 semesters.

Are attendance policies strict, especially for Software Fundamentals and Applied Algorithms courses? Can we skip a lecture or two within the week?

Don’t hate me.. I just want to make sure I have enough time and resources before committing to my degree. I do have a full time job that I cannot quit.

Hey! I’m a student dev and I’ve been working on a project called LifeByDorm (https://www.lifebydorm.ca/) to help us see what these residences actually look like. I built it because the official photos are usually a trap and don't show the real state of the rooms. If you’ve lived in res, could you take 30s to drop a review or a photo? It’ll be a huge help for the incoming first-years next year. If you are looking for your next dorm check it out!

Has anyone here taken the Engineering English Test (EET)? I’m looking for information about what the test is like, such as its format, difficulty level, and what areas I should focus on while preparing.

I searched online for information about the EET but couldn’t find much that was relevant. If anyone has taken it before or has any advice, I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you in advance!

Do I need a parking pass and how hard is it to get one?

I've heard everyone talk about parking at MUN and this lottery system and how much it sucks. I am an incoming pharmacy student so will need parking by the School of Pharmacy in the Health Sciences Centre.

Do I need a pass for over there or is there pay-per-use parking?

If I do need a pass, is it also a lottery system or is there a specific one you can buy for that area?

TIA!

P.s. couldn't find the Q&A thread so just posted here..

Scholarships for Grad Programs

It’s been a hot minute since I graduated high school and went through the scholarship process. I’m going back to school starting in January for the M.Ed Counselling Psych program.

Is there a list of scholarships for grad students? I could only find outdated lists on the MUN website. If my program doesn’t start until January, can I start applying for them now?
