In a very limited number of cases, applicants may be admitted to this LLM program with a first degree in a discipline other than law. Such applicants must have a superior academic record. The goal of admitting students without formal qualifications in the study of law is to encourage interdisciplinary studies involving law, such as public administration and law, or economics and law.
Applicants are required to submit:
Completed application form
Non-refundable application fee of $100 CAD
TWO OFFICIAL transcripts from every university or college you have attended where a grade was received. If transcripts are in a language other than English or French, official translations are required. Transcripts must be sent to us directly from the university.
Resume
Two letters of reference (at least one must be an academic reference)
Personal statement outlining goals and interests in relation to the program offering (250 to 300 words)
An interview, either in-person or by telephone, is required for students with a first language other than English.
This program is intended for students who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Applicants who are citizens or permanent residents of Canada may apply by exception, requesting special consideration. This program does not qualify students to practice law in Canada.
