Graduate Studies

Seneca honours bachelor degree graduates may be eligible to apply to master’s level studies, professional education options or graduate certificate programs. Our Academic Pathways team can help you with your application. 

 

Master’s Degree

After completing a Seneca honours bachelor degree, you may be eligible to apply to master’s level studies, provided that you meet all outlined admission requirements. A master’s (graduate) degree generally requires at least one year of full-time studies, including a thesis developed through original research, practicum or research paper.

Note: Depending on the institution and admission requirements, certain MBA programs recommend that candidates have at least two years of work experience before applying.

 

Professional Education Options

The Academic Pathways team also supports those wishing to pursue a professional education option such as:

  • bachelor of education (teacher’s college)
  • law degree
  • accountant

 

Graduate Certificate Programs

Seneca honours bachelor degree graduates are also eligible to apply to one of Seneca’s graduate certificate programs.

A graduate certificate requires the completion of two semesters (or one year) of full-time study and builds on the knowledge and experience gained through previous postsecondary studies.

Testimonial

Matthew Wood

“The main benefit (in my view) to starting with a diploma program was that I was able to get out into the real (working) world earlier and gain first-hand experience dealing with issues that we, time and time again, were talking about in class. Because of this, I feel that all the lessons in the master's program truly resonated with me on a personal level. I could relate them to my personal experience, tying the abstract ideas from class to situations I'd experienced myself.”
