Students admitted to the integrated B.Sc spécialisé en sciences/B.Éd (cycles intermédiaire/supérieur) program must follow two faculties’ regulations: when they are registered for Faculty of Science courses, they must follow that faculty’s regulations, while when they are registered for Faculty of Education courses, the Faculty of Education’s regulations take precedence. Students must pass a language proficiency test to register for Faculty of Education Formation à l’enseignement courses, although you can register for optional PED courses. The test is administered during the second term of first year. If you fail it, you can write a supplemental test in the second term of second year. If you fail the test, you are only entitled to write one supplemental test.
Please note that admission to the B.Sc. spécialisé Sciences et Baccalauréat en éducation - Cycles intermédiaire/supérieur is suspended until further notice.
If you’re applying for an English-language program and have not completed at least three years of full-time study in an institution where English is the only language of instruction (aside from in language courses) in a country where English is an official language, you must submit your official score in one of the following language tests. The official results must be sent directly to us online from the test centre.
In order to be considered for a program offered in English at the University of Ottawa, you must demonstrate that you are sufficiently proficient in the language to follow a postsecondary academic program. Please note that citizenship is not considered when evaluating English proficiency. To show that your English proficiency is at the academic level required for university studies, provide proof of either:
- Postsecondary studies in English; or
- Last three years of high school taken in English (Grades 10, 11 or 12)
Remember: Language requirements are not based on citizenship. They are based on your country of study.
