Memorial University is the largest university in Atlantic Canada, offering more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. We have four unique campuses, each with its own flavour. Canada does not offer a ranking system for its 60+ publicly funded universities. When selecting a university it is recommended that students research their options and choose a university which offers them the things they feel are most valuable in a university education. This may include factors such as the availability and focus of academic programs, location (rural or urban), student support services, community support and friendliness.

You may apply for general admission as an undecided student and declare or apply for your preferred program at a later date when you feel you are ready. You are encouraged to review the program and course requirements for programs that you may be considering to help you plan for your course selection. You may also wish to contact the Academic Advising Centre at advice@mun.ca or (709) 864-8801 for additional assistance. You can access the Academic Advising Centre website by following this link: http://www.mun.ca/advice

This is generally the case; however, from year-to-year program requirements offered on either campus may be changed. Whenever possible, academic units will take the course offerings available at both campuses into account when regulations are developed or changed so that students wishing to transfer are accommodated. Students interested in switching campuses following their first year are advised to review the degree requirements for their program. If a student remains uncertain, they should contact the Academic Advising Centre at advice@mun.ca or (709) 864-8801 or the faculty or department offering the degree for detailed advice.
