Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Standard admission requires a diploma, or 60 credits, in arts and sciences fields including a minimum of 24 second-year credits, with a minimum 'B' (3.00/4.33) GPA from an accredited post-secondary institution. Flexible admission is available for applicants without the full 60 credits, typically requiring three to five years of professional experience in a related area, assessed alongside academic background. Applicants must submit official transcripts and a proposed program schedule; flexible-admission applicants additionally submit a personal statement, a reference letter and a structured resume. English-language proficiency defers to Royal Roads' general requirement for third-year entry and graduate programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.5 in writing and speaking, 6.0 in listening and reading) or TOEFL iBT 88 overall (minimum 24 writing, 20 in listening, reading and speaking).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Royal Roads University sets no single university-wide deadline: domestic and international applicants apply directly to the university through the same process, and every programme page checked shows one identical deadline for both. RRU consistently closes a programme's application exactly three calendar months before that programme's own intake start date — a September 2027 intake typically closes 7 June 2027 — though a few programmes (the Master of Global Management, for example) use a six-month lead instead. Each programme lists its own upcoming intakes, running from 2026 into 2028 depending on the programme, and RRU says it may still accept a late application if space and processing time remain, but it publishes no separate international deadline and no institution-wide equal-consideration or rolling policy. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
