MAEL applicants must have a Canadian teaching certificate.

Four year undergraduate degree completed with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the final two years of the degree

Three to five years of work experience (may include volunteering and coaching).

Selected learners may be admitted without meeting our posted requirements, subject to the “Exceptional Admissions category” below. This will be an exception.

Successful MAEL applicants will demonstrate English language proficiency at a master’s (graduate) level of analysis and thinking. English as Second Language (ESL) applicants achieving a minimum iBT TOEFL score of 105, or IELTS score of 7.5 on all bands, are considered to have achieved that level of proficiency, and may be eligible for direct entry to the MAEL program. Applicants scoring lower than this level, but with a minimum iBT TOEFL score of 100, or 7.0 on all bands of IELTS, are eligible to apply for the TWU ESLI Pre-Master’s Program (PMP). Achievement of a PMP passing grade indicates demonstration of an acceptable level of English language proficiency for program entry.

There are rolling application deadlines throughout the year.
