Requirements
Admission Requirements: On top of Douglas College's general admission requirements and English Language Proficiency requirement (proof of English proficiency, met with IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83, PTE Academic 56, Duolingo English Test 110, CAEL 60 or another option the college accepts), the Financial Analysis Post-Degree Diploma requires an undergraduate degree from a recognized post-secondary institution in Canada, or an equivalent credential from an approved institution abroad; applicants whose credential was earned in a language other than English must also meet the college's English language proficiency requirement. Given the programme's advanced coverage of finance topics, the page recommends, without making it mandatory, that applicants hold a bachelor's degree in business. No minimum GPA, portfolio or interview is stated.
