IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS

Study permit information is changing quickly, and Western University continues to monitor the impact on our graduate programs as new information is processed and implemented at the provincial and institutional level.

Graduate Diploma (GDip) program applicants are affected by the Government’s cap on study permits, and we are unable to issue offers of admission for international applicants to our Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Graduate Diploma program for the foreseeable future.
