Master’s Academic Preparation Program (MAPP)
Introduction
Our Master’s Academic Preparation Program (MAPP) prepares international students with a bachelor’s degree for graduate studies at Canadian universities. MAPP enhances students’ understanding of Canadian culture and equips them with essential academic and professional skills.
MAPP focuses on course-based graduate programs, offering English language and foundational academic courses. It sharpens students’ communication, collaboration, literacy, and critical thinking skills. Through projects and case studies, students learn to analyze problems, conduct research, and present their findings effectively.
MAPP is flexible, allowing students to enrol for one or two semesters. Students take 5 courses per semester
