The University of Toronto (U of T) is Canada's largest and highest-ranked university, with three campuses — St. George (downtown Toronto), Mississauga and Scarborough — and more than 90,000 students. For international applicants it combines world-class research with a big-city location, but also some of Canada's highest international tuition. This profile covers the 2026-27 fees, admission requirements, Fall 2027 deadlines and the scholarships that actually reduce the bill.

Programmes and Campuses

U of T offers over 700 undergraduate programmes across its three campuses: St. George hosts the Faculty of Arts & Science, Applied Science & Engineering, Architecture, Music and most professional faculties; Mississauga and Scarborough offer a wide range of arts, science, business and management programmes with smaller class sizes and co-op options. Popular international choices include Computer Science, Engineering, Commerce (Rotman), Life Sciences and Economics. Engineering applicants apply to a specific stream (Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, Mineral or Materials) and may rank campus preferences.

Admission Requirements and Deadlines — Fall 2027

International applicants apply through U of T's online application (OUAC for Ontario students; the international application otherwise) and submit transcripts, predicted grades where applicable, and English proficiency: IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 89+, or Duolingo 120+. Some programmes require supplementary applications, portfolios or interviews — check your programme page early. For Fall 2027, early consideration requires applying by November 7, 2026 with documents by December 2, 2026; later applications are considered while places remain, but competitive programmes fill early and scholarship consideration favours early applicants.

Scholarships

U of T selects outstanding international undergraduate applicants as University of Toronto Scholars (CAD 6,000, combinable with other awards). The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship — the university's most prestigious award, covering tuition, books, incidental fees and residence for four years — is nomination-based: your school nominates you, so raise it with your counsellor a full year before applying. Faculty and college entrance scholarships exist but are mostly modest; do not budget on the assumption of a full ride unless you hold a Pearson nomination.
