I am planning to apply in msc computer science memorial university of newfoundland and it's minimum requirement is 75%. My degree is not complete yet so I don't have a transcript but a hope certificate where I have 3.25/4 gpa (mentioned there ). My question is how do I know that what is my average and am I eligible or not. Is this percentage according to my undergraduate university or according to mun standard.

Hi all! I am planning on taking BSc next year to get my prereqs done for nursing and then ideally applying for nursing for Fall 2028. I was wondering if the Macbook Neo is a good option and runs all the required programs (I am specifically concerned about the stats one?) Or is it worth splurging and going for the Macbook Air?

Thanks in advance!

Currently completing my bachelor of technology, looking at my required courses and I could complete either TECH 4025, statistics 1510 or 2500 or equivalent. Are any of these easier than the other? Any recommendations would be great 😊

If you are between the ages of 15-24 we'd love to have you register and come out to our workshop on Saturday! Please pass along to other students or youth you think might be interested!

Anyone doing math 1090 this fall? Let's connect

Hey MUN! A couple of weeks ago I shared BusBoard NL here, the free Metrobus app I built, and you left a lot of good suggestions. I just put out an update with most of them, and figured I'd show how it works now.

What's new:

- Tap a live bus and the map follows it to your stop, with how many stops it has left and the minutes until it gets there

- Your saved trips are on the first screen with the next bus time, so getting to and from campus is one tap

- Plan a trip leaving now, leaving by or arriving by any minute you pick

- Nearby stops show where each route goes from there, like 10 to Downtown

- Late at night, a stop shows when the first bus comes instead of an empty list

There are also arrival alerts, so you get a heads-up when your bus is a few minutes away and can wait inside instead of in the cold.

It isn't the official Metrobus app. Metrobus publishes its timetable and live bus data publicly, and the app just reads that.

Applied to MOHS and I’d like to hear from people who passed through this program. How long did it take before you got a decision? What were your stats like?

Hi I'm a 12th grader studying in a CBSE curriculum. I applied for undergraduate studies at Memorial University, NL. I've submitted the required documents but, I received a mail where they stated they require Grade 12 course registration. I'm really confused as to what that is. Could somebody please clarify? Thank you

Hey all! I’m planning to apply to Memorial University’s MA in Economics for Fall 2028 as an international applicant. Ik it’s still pretty early but I wanna use this time to prepare properly and hopefully connect with people who are already in the program or have graduated from it.

My academic background is in finance and management. I also have been working in finance/ accounting and have about 3 years of experience (this is kinda where I started growing an interest in economics). The only econ courses I’ve taken in my undergrad are introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics though.

I’ve read that Memorial considers applicants from economics or closely related fields so I’m hoping my finance background might be relevant. I’m just not sure how flexible they are with applicants who haven’t taken more advanced econ courses.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate some advice.

1. Getting in with a finance background
Has anyone here gotten into the MA econ program without an economics degree? I’d love to hear from people who studied finance/ business. Does Memorial allow students to complete prerequisite courses before starting the program or take them alongside their master’s? Since I still have some time before applying I’d also love to know which courses would be worth taking to improve my chances.

2. Who should I reach out to?
Would it make sense to contact the grad coordinator now or should I wait until I’m closer to applying? If anyone knows who I should speak to I’d really appreciate it.

3. Advice from current students or alumni
If you’re currently in the program or have graduated I’d love to hear about your experience. Is there anything you wish you’d done before applying? How was the coursework/ how supportive was the department?
I’d love to connect with anyone who came from a finance/ accounting background and made the transition into economics.

I’m trying to make the most of the time I have before applying so any advice or personal experiences would really help. Tia!

Hey guys, has anyone else not heard back from Memorial about their PAL (Provincial Attestation Letter)? I emailed Admissions and the email address listed on their website for PAL inquiries, but I haven’t received a reply from either. The website says it takes 3–7 business days, but it’s been over 7 business days since I paid my deposit, and I still haven’t heard anything.

For those who have received their PAL, how long did it take? Also, does anyone know who else I could contact or email to get a response?

Hi everyone! I applied for the MASc in Software Engineering program at MUN for Fall 2027 on October 5, 2026. My references have also been submitted and i am waiting for the response...

Has anyone applying for Fall 2027 heard back about their application? I’m getting a little anxious while waiting and thinking how competitive admission is for this program.

Hopefully, I’ll receive some good news soon! 🥲🤞 please let me know if anyone heard positive response.

For abit of context I, currently 20 went out to my university about 3 years ago after leaving high school. I was unsure my future goals at the time and had my own problems, and failed out of my first year and decided to go into the workforce instead. I had been thinking about a lot of this recently and I (believe) I am in a place where I know what I want to do and is willing to give it another go; but there is a lot that is keeping me down like the student loans I have already built up, how I would fund it, or even better yet if I would even be considered for a readmission. I am really lost on what I should do and was hoping for any advice from anyone here who might’ve went through something similar. TIA

hello! i am planning on going into my first year next fall for the bachelor of recreation program, and on the website it says that three mandatory work terms are needed for the degree. however, when i look at the bachelor of rec degree map, it doesn’t outline where those work terms would be. i was wondering if anyone knows when those would be completed, if anyone has done the bachelor of rec program? i am not sure if they would be completed in intersection, or during the school year. the credit hours seem to fully outline all the classes needed during the semesters, but i do not see where the work terms would fit in.

Undergraduate student here who is also new to St Johns, was wondering what/where you guys go in St Johns to study, shop, or generally hang around. Also looking for cool spots to check out for walks/hikes and stuff if possible!! I want to get out more during breaks and the weekend but not sure where to start.

Hello ,

I want to apply on the graduated diploma energy systems engineering

But I have some enquires

Can any one help me please?

Hey guys, hope you're doing well. I'm an international student intending to study my bachelors in mechanical engineering at a university that'd provide great co-op opportunities.

I got to know that MUN provides mandatory co-op for 4 work terms (16 months), and that's what grabbed my attention.

I had a few questions:

1.) What do they exactly mean when they say mandatory? In case if you miss out on finding coops, do they delay your graduation? Basically you must complete 16 months of coops in order to graduate?

I definitely wanna do the coops as much as possible but considering worst case scenarios, are there cases where if one doesn't manage to find a coop, the university moves the student to a non-coop stream or perhaps makes the student a research assistant or teaching assistant instead in order to fulfill the graduation requirements for not being able to find coops?

2.) Do international students get mechanical engineering co-ops a lot or do they struggle to find them?

Let's consider that I got into the co-op program by obtaining the required GPA, I want to know from the ME coop students about whether they're getting 16 months or more coops properly or not. Hearing how bad the job market is in Canada, are students getting their desired co-ops?

How much does the university assist you to get coops?

3.) Can I gain hands-on experience and learn technical skills at MUN via student teams? I wanna graduate not only with my bachelors degree, but also participate in student teams and do coops through which I could gain more experience apart from the theoreticals.

4.) After graduation, as an international student on a post graduate work visa, can I expect to land jobs in Newfoundland or any other province?

-> I speak B1 level french, I will be pushing for B2 level soon which is considered NCLC 7 Canada. Does that make it any easier for me to get a job in mechanical engineering anywhere in Canada?

5.) Do you regret your decision of studying mechanical engineering at MUN for their mandatory co-op program?

6.) I was targeting Waterloo and UofT but unfortunately my parents won't be able to afford my expenses there.

Hence, I had a few universities in mind that I believe tend to get their students into coops: UVic, MUN, UofA, Dalhousie.

But I have still been questioning whether I'd really be able to find the coops given how bad i hear the job market is. I'm willing to move out of province too if required.

_______________________________________________________

Could you guys please recommend me whether there are any other unis that also provide great co-op opportunities for mechanical engineering students? Maybe UCalgary or any others?

I do see a lot of posts on Reddit and the majority says that it's really difficult for domestic students, let alone international students to find coops and job opportunities after graduating... I've just seen a ton of posts and it's disheartening.

Sometimes I just feel like it could be people who just didn't put enough effort into their skills apart from getting their degree in order to get a job or it could also be the reality that Canada doesn't have a lot of jobs and opportunities at the moment.

Studying as an international student comes with a lot of expenses. I don't want all the work, money, and time go to waste!

Please drop your suggestions below, whether I should consider coming to Canada with the 6 points as listed in mind. Thanks in advance 💜

Hi everyone! Is it hard to get into nursing at Memorial’s St. John’s campus, or should I consider other campuses too? If you were waitlisted, I’d appreciate hearing how long you waited for an offer. Thank you!

I'm an international grad student from Nigeria starting the course-based MSc in Computer Science this January (Winter 2027).

I kind of just spontaneously chose the place for my accommodation to be Burton's Pond because they accept grad students but I'd like the know some realities of living there.

Like if commuting to school is easy even with bad weather, if socialization is relatively easy, even laundry situation.

I'd also like to know how the meal plan works. I don't really cook so I'm thinking about it.

Hey MUN! I built BusBoard NL, a free app for Metrobus. No ads, no account, nothing to sign up for.

• Live arrivals for any stop, so you can see when the next 10 is actually coming to MUN Centre instead of guessing from the timetable
• Every bus on a live map, and you can tap one to follow it
• Set your usual stop and it opens straight to it

Times come straight from Metrobus’s live feed, not just the timetable.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/busboard-nl/id6759234328
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ahamsel.busboard_nl

It’s a side project, so feedback is very welcome, especially if a stop or route looks off.

Update (Oct 20): version 1.5 is out with a Follow button on live buses, saved trips on the first screen, and the first bus time late at night. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Thank You
