Admissions information
When you apply to Royal Roads, we look at more than grades. Your work, life and learning experiences all matter.
You’ll usually need a bachelor’s degree to apply to a master’s program. But if your path has been different and you don’t have one, we may still consider your experience and learning as part of our flexible admissions review process.
Our undergraduate programs also offer flexible pathways to help you explore your interests and build confidence as you begin your studies.
