Eligibility and admission

No. Only full-time professional roles are considered. However, significant volunteer leadership experience can strengthen your application.

No, everyone pays the application fees.

Yes. We welcome applications from international students.

You need two professional references. Enter their contact information in your uoZone portal after you submit your online application.

A minimum of three years’ full-time work experience in any sector is required. We give preference to applicants with progressive health-care experience. Part-time work, summer jobs, internships and co-op terms don’t count towards this experience, though they’re viewed favourably during the evaluation process.

A recognized Canadian bachelor’s degree or the equivalent with a minimum admission average of B (70 %) (calculated using the last 60 units (credits) for Canadian or American transcripts or last 20 courses for international transcripts). See our admission equivalencies.

Clear health leadership goals, progressive work experience, strong quantitative readiness, compelling references and a strong letter of intent.

You must have an admission average of B (70 %) (calculated using the last 60 units (credits) for Canadian or American transcripts or last 20 courses for international transcripts).

Once you receive access to your uoZone portal, must upload your resumé, letter of intent, copies of your Harvard Module certificates or GMAT/GRE scores, a copy of all postsecondary transcripts, proof of English proficiency (if applicable) and contact information for two referees.
