Since English is the primary language of instruction at Memorial University, all applicants seeking admission to the University must possess an adequate knowledge of written and spoken English as a prerequisite to admission. Regardless of country of origin or citizenship status, applicants are required to provide proof of proficiency in the English language. Requirement for providing proof of English proficiency can be found in the current University Calendar (www.mun.ca/regoff/calendar) under University Regulations, Section 2.2.

An acceptable score in the TOEFL exam is one of a number of ways to prove your proficiency in English. Please see the FAQ question "What English requirements do I need?" for information regarding English requirements and the link to the University Calendar provided there for further information.
