International High School Requirements

As an international high school student, there are two admission pathways to Western. You can apply directly to Western or to Western International College, our pathway program for international students.

Pathway 1: Admission direct to Western University

For direct admission to Western, you will need the admission requirements outlined below.

Requirements by curriculum

If you're in one of these curricula, we'll evaluate you based on these requirements regardless of what country you are studying in.

• G.C.E Advanced Level
• International Baccalaureate
• U.S. High School/Accreditation
• Advanced Placement (AP)

Requirements by country

We'll use these requirements if your secondary school is recognized by the Ministry of Education in your country and follows the national curriculum.

If your school follows a curriculum accredited by a different country than the one your school is in, follow the requirements for the country of your curriculum. For example, if you're studying in Argentina but your curriculum is accredited by Germany, you'll need to look at the Germany requirements.

Pathway 2: Admission to Western International College

Western International College is designed to introduce international students to the Canadian post-secondary school system. It also prepares them to meet Western's competitive degree standards.

Year 1

As a Western International College student, you will benefit from small class sizes and extra supports.
