The Keele campus in north Toronto is a large, self-contained site with its own subway stations, student village and sports facilities; Glendon is a smaller wooded campus in midtown.
Toronto is Canada's largest city, with major employers, museums and a huge international student population. Rent is high, though the Keele area is cheaper than downtown.

Undergraduate deadlines vary by programme: most accept international applications for September until early spring, with Schulich's BBA and other competitive programmes closing earlier, around February. Graduate deadlines are set by each programme, typically between December and March. Check your programme's admissions page.
September is the main intake for all programmes. Many undergraduate programmes also admit for January, and some for May. The Schulich MBA admits for September and January, while most other master's programmes are September only. Check your programme's page to confirm.
You need a Canadian study permit. After you accept your offer, York issues a letter of acceptance and, where required, a provincial attestation letter. You then apply online to IRCC with proof of funds and give biometrics. Allow three to four months for processing.
Computer science, the Schulich MBA, management, economics and business analytics attract the most international applicants. Master's entry needs a four-year bachelor's degree with a B+ average (around 70-75% for Indian degrees), TOEFL 100 or IELTS 7.0. Schulich programmes require the GMAT or GRE for the MBA.
Yes. International undergraduates are automatically considered for entrance scholarships based on their admission average, with larger awards for top applicants. Schulich offers merit scholarships to MBA and master's applicants, and research master's students usually receive funding from their department. Check York's financial aid pages for details.
