    About

    The certificate in food studies is designed for those who are interested in studying food issues at the local, regional, national and global scale.

    For cultures world-wide, life rotates around food - it is the mortar that binds communities together. It connects us today to where we came from in the past. It is at both local and global, personal and universal. Studying food is not just about nutrition, agriculture and gastronomy but about how it is produced, consumed and disposed of. 

    If you have questions about the ethics of eating or the impact of food on the environment or how certain foodways affect your current culinary traditions, this is the certificate for you.

    How to Apply

    1. Choose a program and a campus

    Memorial University offers a wide variety of programs. With over 300 program options and multiple campuses to choose from, your choices are wide open. Check out what is offered at the St. John’s Campus, Grenfell Campus, the Marine Institute, the Labrador Campus or online.

    2. Review application deadlines

    Application deadlines vary by program. We encourage you to submit your application well in advance of the posted deadlines.

    If you are applying from outside of Canada and will need a study permit, review the study permit processing times to ensure you have sufficient time to arrive to Memorial. 

    3. Check the admission requirements

    A) General admission requirements

    General admission means you meet the university’s minimum requirements to gain early or verified acceptance.

    All applicants must meet general admission requirements before being considered for admission to a competitive-entry program. If you are taking courses at a university or college for the first time, you will first be considered for admission under a general admission program such as a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science.

    English language requirement

    All applicants to Memorial University must meet our English language requirement.

    If you haven’t yet met the requirement, you may be interested in our English as a Second Language program offered at the Grenfell Campus.

    B) Competitive-entry program requirements

    If you are successful with general admission and have applied to a competitive-entry program, your application will be forwarded to that faculty/school for consideration. You will hear from them separately.

    Note: Admission to Memorial's competitive-entry programs is competitive and selective. Meeting the minimum general admission requirements does not guarantee admission to a competitive-entry program.

    4. Start the application

    The online application takes about 30 minutes to complete. You may start an application, save it, and return to it any time before submitting.

    You will need to submit a new online application if you are/were:

    • Applying to Memorial for the first time
    • Previously admitted but didn’t register for courses
    • Previously enrolled and haven’t registered for courses in more than three consecutive semesters
    • Current Memorial student applying to competitive-entry programs

    Current Memorial students should review information on how to change their academic program, including how to declare their program/major/minor versus how to apply for admission to competitive-entry programs.

    Once you've created your account you'll be all set to apply. Sign in to the admissions portal and start your application.

    Applicants must complete their own application as they are academically responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted.

    The application may not work properly on a mobile device.

    The software for the online application only supports the English language.
