Language requirements

Regardless of your nationality or immigration status, the MER requires a higher English proficiency requirement than baseline, as noted on https://www.mun.ca/become/graduate/apply/. You can use one of the following methods to prove your English proficiency:

• Medium of Instruction (MOI) – completing either (a) secondary school or (b) a baccalaureate or post-graduate degree, from a recognized English-medium school/university/institution. If you completed this outside Canada or the United States, you can provide proof in the form of a medium of instruction letter (or similar document) from that school/university/institution.
• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) – a minimum aggregate score of 92 on the old TOEFL 0-100 scale, or 4.5 on the new TOEFL 1-6 scale.
• International English Language Testing Service (IELTS Academic) – a minimum average band score of 7.0.
• Duolingo English Test (DET) – a minimum aggregate score of 125.
• Canadian Academic English Language Assessment (CAEL) – a minimum score of between 50 and 60 in each of the four bands, with at least 2 band scores of 60.
• Michigan English Test (MET) – a minimum score of 59%.
• Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE-Academic): minimum scores of 58.
