Welcome to Brock! You will join a thriving graduate community that is driving the University’s reputation as a centre of excellence in research and innovation. We have just the right graduate opportunity for you to take your knowledge and abilities to a new level.
Step 1: Pre-Application
Explore our Graduate Programs and Application Deadlines
Brock’s 49 graduate programs create innovative learning experiences. Our programs emphasize engagement in research, scholarship and professional development.
Review Admission Requirements and Application Instructions
An application to graduate school at Brock University is a multi-step process. Instructions should be read in full before you submit your application.
*We recommend applying at least ten days before the program’s deadline.
Step 2: Application Process
Submit Your Application on OUAC
Submit your application on OUAC. Once you have submitted and paid for your application, one to two business days are required for Brock to receive the application from OUAC.
Upload Your Required Documents
Prepare required documents. This may include your statement/letter of intent, resume, or any other item as part of the program’s requirements.
Graduate Accommodations and Supports
If you require accommodations or support during your graduate studies, please visit the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre or contact [email protected].
When you submit the application, you will be prompted to pay the nonrefundable OUAC application fee. The fee varies by program, and you must pay for each program to which you are applying.
- The fee is payable to the Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC) and can be paid by VISA or Mastercard.
- Once you have submitted and paid for your application, one to two business days are required for Brock to receive the application from OUAC.
- Note: for students who attended an Ontario postsecondary institution, transcripts are ordered via OUAC at the time of application and are sent directly to Brock. Additional fees may apply and vary by institution – see the OUAC website for details.
Step 3: Await a Decision
Monitor the Brock Portal
Monitor your Brock Portal, as it will provide further instructions or details our team may need. Admission decisions, offer letters, and other relevant information will be posted in the portal. They are typically made six to eight weeks after the application deadline.
International Applicants
International Students
At Brock University, just over 30% of all graduate students are international. We support our international students every step of the way by creating an environment that allows them to connect and focus in a diverse and vibrant learning community.
Step 4: Accept your Offer of Admission
Review Your Offer of Admission
Your offer of admission package has been posted to your Brock portal, and we encourage you to review all aspects of your offer carefully – there is a lot to consider.
Accept Your Offer
Most students have three weeks to respond to their offer of admission, which can be done through the Brock Portal. The timeframe for accepting your offer will be clearly indicated on your offer letter, and should be observed to secure your place in the program.
