If your first language is not English, you must show you have an acceptable level of English by completing a language proficiency test.

If you have completed at least one full year at an accredited university in a country where English is the official language of the institution, you may be exempt from this requirement.

York University reserves the right to require a successfully completed language proficiency test. Each program identifies the minimum language test score requirements. Check your program of choice for minimum acceptable English language scores. Any test scores submitted to York University for the purpose of satisfying your language requirements must have been achieved within the last two (2) years.
