Program details
Overview
Memorial University's Master of Science in Management is a research-focused graduate degree offered by the Faculty of Business Administration, whose AACSB-accredited faculty describe it as the first program of its kind in Atlantic Canada. The program is built around small class sizes intended to support close mentorship in research training, developing methodological rigour and a broad research skillset rather than following a course-heavy, practice-oriented curriculum. Graduates are positioned either to continue into a PhD in Management or to move into research-adjacent roles such as business analyst, consultant, policy analyst, or research analyst across private, public, and non-profit organizations. The program suits students who want structured preparation for doctoral study in a business discipline, as well as those who want strong research and analytical skills for a management or policy career without necessarily pursuing a doctorate. Its research orientation and small cohort size distinguish it from more general, coursework-based business master's programs.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Memorial's M.Sc. in Management, a research-focused program in the Faculty of Business Administration, normally admits applicants with a four-year bachelor's degree who present a Graduate Management Admissions Test score of at least 600 (555 on the GMAT Focus Edition) or a Graduate Record Examinations score of at least 310. Two letters of appraisal from referees are required, with at least one addressing the applicant's academic potential as a graduate student. Applicants without a four-year degree from an English-medium institution must present a TOEFL iBT score of 92-93 or higher (the Home Edition is not accepted) or an IELTS Academic score of 7 or higher. The program's own admission page does not publish a minimum grade point average.
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.
