University of Regina offers BA/BS in International Studies, a bachelor's degree in Global Studies programme in Regina, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 978 per credit (CAD 280 per credit for local students).
International Studies at the University of Regina leads to a Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Arts Honours, over four years, drawing on international and regional area studies to examine the political, economic, and cultural structures that connect countries around the world. Students choose between two areas of concentration: International Affairs, which focuses on the political, economic, and cultural dimensions of global issues, or International Development, which addresses topics such as poverty alleviation and displacement. The program also offers a standalone certificate for students who want a shorter credential. Coursework draws on political science, history, and anthropology, taught in small classes with close faculty contact. Students have the option to pursue study-abroad terms at partner institutions in cities such as Barcelona, Shanghai, Seoul, and Milan, and the program's location in Saskatchewan's capital supports access to co-op placements and internships connected to government and international organizations. It suits students who want to understand global governance, development, and international affairs processes and who are considering careers that engage directly with these issues. Graduates go on to work in federal and provincial government, diplomatic service, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, education, and business.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The International Studies program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Arts sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
