Exigences linguistiques

If English is not your first language, you must demonstrate that you can cope with the language demands of an English-language university.

If you apply to an undergraduate program at Lakehead University, you may meet our English-language requirements if you successfully completed, or are in the process of completing, 3 full years of recent study in an English-language school system.

If English is not your native language, and you cannot verify that you recently studied in an English-language school system for more than 3 full years of full-time study, you will be required to present proof of English-language proficiency.

Lakehead University accepts the following as proof of English-language proficiency:

1. Successful completion of a recognized language test (e.g., CAEL, Cambridge, IELTS, Pearson, and TOEFL) with the required minimum scores.
2. Successful completion of Lakehead University’s Academic English Program (AEP).
3. Successful completion of one of our approved Pathway Partner’s ESL programs.
4. Completion of Senior Level English Courses.

Some programs (e.g., Bachelor of Science in Nursing) may require a higher score on a recognized language test than the minimums listed. Completing our AEP is not an option for these programs. Refer to our English-language requirements for more information.
