🎓 Mount Allison University – New Brunswick, Canada

Mount Allison University – New Brunswick, Canada

1. School overview and location

Mount Allison in Sackville, New Brunswick, has a specialized graduate scale. This is an option that should be evaluated based on the research topic and supervisor, rather than expecting a broad Master’s catalog like a large research university.

2. Master and PhD programs

The admissions page confirms a research-based Master of Science in Biology and Chemistry; other science fields may be considered upon individual approval. Do not market the school as having a business Master’s or an extensive PhD system.

3. Study method and program selection

The MSc includes graduate coursework, research, and thesis defense. Those looking for course-based study to change careers quickly should compare other schools; here, fit with the research lab is the priority.

4. Academic requirements and profile

Requirements include a four-year BSc, a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.3 scale or equivalent, and research experience. A faculty member committed to supervision and a funding plan are required before applying. Meeting the minimum GPA is not enough if there is no suitable supervisor.

5. Language requirements

Programs are taught in English. You must verify acceptable certificates and international application requirements with Graduate Studies; do not use undergraduate English scores as a default for the MSc.

6. Tuition for international students

Reference group: Low. The 2026–27 calendar link still displays the 2025–2026 fee schedule: CAD 1,670 per term for the first six terms. As the year labels are not consistently updated, this is only a historical reference level and should not be considered the 2026–27 tuition quote. A Registrar confirmation for international graduate tuition, payable terms, and insurance/student fees is required.

7. Scholarships and research support

The supervisor's support letter must include a funding plan. It is necessary to distinguish between scholarships, TA/RA stipends, and research costs; clarify the remaining balance after tuition and the number of months covered.

8. Strengths, considerations, and target students

Suitable for students in Biology/Chemistry who have a topic and research experience and desire a small environment with close supervision. Consideration must be given to the number of positions in the lab and life in Sackville; do not choose solely based on low tuition.

9. Preparation before applying

You should select a specific program before comparing budgets. Check the intake terms, duration, in-person or online delivery, prerequisite requirements, and deadlines. For research-oriented paths, you must read the faculty's work and clarify whether you need to find a supervisor before applying. Transcripts, degrees, CVs, statements of intent, letters of recommendation, and language certificates must meet specific program guidelines; arts applications may require a portfolio. Prepare a separate budget for tuition, mandatory fees, insurance, housing, food, transportation, and costs for dependents. Do not include potential income from part-time jobs or unconfirmed scholarships in your secured budget.

10. Official sources and verification date

Verified on October 7, 2026. The fees below are for reference based on the school's website; you must confirm the fee schedule applicable to your chosen intake term and program. The tuition group on the website helps with a preliminary comparison and does not replace the school's official fee quote.
