Admission Requirements for Bangladeshi Students
In short: Bangladeshi applicants generally need strong HSC/A-Level or equivalent academic transcripts, proof of English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL/Duolingo), a valid passport, and a completed online application through CBU's Future Student portal.
Exact GPA cut-offs, required documents, and English test score thresholds vary by program — nursing and graduate programs, for example, carry additional requirements such as reference letters. The application fee is CAD $80 (non-refundable). Because requirements change between intakes, it's best to confirm the current criteria for your specific program directly with CBU or through CSB Study Abroad's admission requirements guide rather than relying on general estimates.
Scholarships at Cape Breton University
CBU offers Entrance Scholarships worth between CAD $500 and $5,000 per year to eligible incoming students, along with several named, donor-funded awards, distributed from a pool of roughly $2.5 million each year.
Real scholarship options available at CBU include:
- Entrance Scholarships — awarded based on academic average to students entering directly from high school or through an articulation agreement
- Orpha Thayer-Scott Scholarship
- C.W. MacDonald Memorial Scholarship
- Drs. John & Jeanne Eyking Scholarships
Eligibility, exact funding amounts, and application deadlines (commonly March 1st for entrance awards) vary by program and intake, so it's important to confirm current details before applying.
