FAQ

Do I need to submit english language proficiency (ELP) test results (e.g an IELTS or TOEFL) for admission?

If you have not studied for a minimum of four years (including your final year) in an institution where the language of instruction is English, you are required to submit a satisfactory English language proficiency test score. Click here for details.

Is your university accredited in Canada? Will my degree be recognized internationally?

Yes. We are a public university and an official member of Universities Canada. Students in all of our programs will graduate with a Western University degree.

Ranked as one of Canada’s Top 8 universities (QS World University Rankings), means your degree will be recognized in Canada and around the world. As well, Huron has a reputation as one of Canada’s oldest institutions and the prestigious leadership positions Huron alumni have held in business, government, law and more in Canada and around the world are well known. Our alumni mentorship program will connect you with our alumni in leadership roles in organizations and sectors of your interests to help you take advantage of high-level connections and fast-track your search for a career post-graduation.

As an international student, can I work in Canada during my studies at Huron?

Learn more about the extensive opportunities to work while studying in Canada by clicking here.

What is the relationship between Huron and Western University?

Huron was founded in 1863 by Benjamin Cronyn and Isaac Hellmuth. 15 years later, Isaac Hellmuth founded Western University in 1878. Huron is the founding institution of Western University.

Huron is a “university within a university” – as a student here, you are fully a Western student: you can access all facilities, amenities and events throughout the Western campus and you will graduate with a Western University degree. However, by being at Huron you will have the benefit of uniquely small class sizes of 30 students on average and studying at an institution that specializes specifically in liberal arts and business. On top of the campus-wide opportunities, you will also have exclusive access to Huron’s special programs: such as more student clubs and extra-curriculars, paid internship and alumni connections that are available solely for Huron students. You will also be eligible for scholarship opportunities dedicated exclusively to Huron students as well as enjoy our own Residence buildings, which are mainly single rooms rather than shared, double rooms. Our residences are also the perfect location on the Western University campus: Huron residence buildings are the closest ones to the University Community Center (UCC) – the social, recreational and dining hub of Western University.

What makes Huron different?

We have remained strategically small to ensure faculty and staff can provide personalized and caring environments that nurture our students’ individual gifts and position them for the best-possible university experience.

We refuse to conform to the trend that attempts to devalue a Liberal Arts education because we know diverse and balanced course offerings endow our students with transferrable skills best prepare them for the modern job market.

Our university prioritizes character development, as much as academic excellence, so when you leave here, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and passion to actively shape the world.

All of our classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants, so your classroom experiences, from lectures to grading, will always be consistent and you’ll have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with people who want to positively influence your future.

We’ve established local and international partnerships that set our students a part: we are Ontario’s only Harvard Business School Online partner and we also offer the dual degree program with Ivey Business School.

I’m interested in Huron’s dual degree program with the Ivey Business School, how do I apply?

When applying to any Huron program on the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) website, you will have an option to check off a box that indicates your interest in Ivey Advanced Entry Opportunity (AEO) status as well. You will then need to complete a supplemental application for Ivey AEO status. If you do not apply or receive AEO status to Ivey when applying during your Grade 12 year, you may also apply during your second year at Huron. Please click here for more details.

I’m interested in applying to multiple programs at Huron, do I have to submit multiple applications?

Huron admits students to a general first year, so you only need to apply to a program once. For example, if you’re interested in both Accounting as well as Finance & Administration, only apply once to the Management and Organizational Studies program.

My school will not release my predicted or mid year results until later in the school year, when should I apply?

Applications for September 2024 are now open. We highly recommend you apply as soon as applications open so that we receive your basic information and educational background. There are 3 rounds of admissions, and it’s important to understand the differences between them with regards to deadlines and scholarship amounts available. Please visit our admissions page for more information.
