Ryerson University is Canada's leader in innovative, career-oriented education and a university clearly on the move. Distinctly urban, culturally diverse and inclusive, we are home to more than 36,700 students, alongside 2,300 master's and PhD students, nearly 2,700 faculty and staff, and more than 215,000 alumni worldwide. Established in 1948, we are named after the founder of public education in Ontario, Egerton Ryerson. We offer both professionally targeted programs – we lead in this area among Canadian universities – and contemporary arts and science degrees. Our students benefit from a real-world, relevant curriculum that lets them practice while they learn, and prepares them to hit the ground running when they graduate.
Our location in the heart of downtown Toronto provides students with an exciting learning environment. As Canada’s largest and most multicultural city, Toronto is host to multinational firms, industry head offices and provincial government departments and agencies – all translating into countless employment opportunities for Ryerson students.

Requirements
Dynamic, creative and driven students from around the globe choose Ryerson. We offer an education that combines academic rigour with relevant, professional experience in a learning environment that reflects the energy, strength and spirit of Toronto. Our culturally diverse and lively campus includes students from more than 140 countries. The following are general admission requirements and are subject to change. Applicants educated outside of Ontario must submit evidence of education equivalent to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six Grade 12 U or M courses. Please note: Ryerson reserves the right to be the final arbiter of what will be accepted on an equivalency basis. It is essential that subject prerequisite requirements and grades for specific Ryerson programs form part of the academic background of applicants from outside Ontario, especially in the last two years of secondary school studies. Programs may specify non-academic requirements for admission (e.g. portfolio, admission essay, interview, audition, etc.). These programs are referred to as Grades-Plus programs. The specific non-academic requirements for individual Grades-Plus programs, including specific submission dates and procedures, are available by visiting the Undergraduate Program page. Note: for Grades-Plus programs, both academic and non-academic criteria will be used in the admission selection process. Proof of English Language Proficiency may be required. Visit English Language Requirements for details. Admission requirements vary by undergraduate program. Applicants who have completed any post-secondary studies should also visit the University/College Transfer Students page.
Procedure for International Students
Online Application Form : Visit Application Forms for details on which form to use. Supplementary Forms: All applicants who are not currently attending an Ontario secondary school in a daytime program of study are required to submit a Supplementary Form - visit Application Forms for details. Applications for admission will not be reviewed until the completed Supplementary Form is received by Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment. Alternate Program Choices: Applicants wishing to be considered for more than one program at Ryerson must include all program choices on the applicable OUAC Application Form. By doing this, students are automatically considered equally for each individual program. Once you have received an email acknowledgement of your application from Ryerson, you should begin the process of submitting your transcripts and supporting documents, as applicable.
