Overview
This Master of Arts in Environmental Policy, offered at Grenfell Campus, integrates environmental policy with environmental studies, environmental science, and sustainable resource management through a mix of introductory and specialized coursework. Students choose between a two-year thesis-based route or a one-year research-paper-based route, and both include an integrated internship giving experiential exposure to the challenges faced by practitioners. Part-time study is available for working professionals. Applicants come from diverse academic backgrounds, including humanities, social sciences, environmental sciences, law, business, and engineering, and the program is positioned for both new graduates and mid-career professionals looking to upgrade their credentials while continuing to work. Graduates pursue roles in government environmental departments, natural resource companies, non-governmental organizations, research, teaching, and academia.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
