About York University

York University is a public research university located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1959, it has grown into one of Canada's largest universities, with over 55,000 students studying across its Keele and Glendon campuses.

York is known for its research output, its bilingual Glendon campus, and its strong international community, with students coming from more than 160 countries. The university's main Keele campus houses most faculties, including the Lassonde School of Engineering, the Schulich School of Business, and Osgoode Hall Law School—one of Canada's oldest and most respected law schools.

York University is one of the top public universities in Toronto, Canada, and is ranked #=322 in the QS World University Rankings  2027 — a rise from its previous placement, reflecting continued growth in areas like academic reputation, employer reputation, and international research collaboration. As with any ranking, positions are updated annually, so it's worth checking the current QS rankings for the most up-to-date figure.

Being in Toronto also means students get access to one of North America's biggest job markets, a huge co-op and internship network, and a cost of living that, while significant, comes with far more part-time work opportunities than smaller Canadian cities.

English language requirements: Most programs accept IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test scores, with minimum requirements that differ between undergraduate and graduate programs, and between faculties.

Required documents: These usually include academic transcripts, certificates, a valid passport, a statement of purpose (for many graduate programs), letters of recommendation, and proof of English proficiency.

Scholarships at York University

York University offers several scholarship opportunities for international students, though eligibility and amounts vary by program, faculty, and intake.

Entrance scholarships are often awarded automatically based on your final admission average when you apply — no separate application is usually needed.

Merit-based scholarships reward strong academic performance and are typically renewable if you maintain the required GPA in following years.

International student awards are designed specifically for students coming from outside Canada, recognizing the added costs and adjustments involved in studying abroad.

Faculty-specific scholarships are offered by individual schools, like Schulich or Lassonde, for students in particular programs.

Since scholarship values, eligibility criteria, and deadlines change often, it's best to check current details on the official York University website or speak with a counsellor before applying. For a fuller breakdown, see [York University scholarships guide ].
