Bishop's University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Bishop's University is a public university in Lennoxville, Quebec, that teaches primarily in English. It suits students who want a small Canadian university with programmes across undergraduate, graduate, diploma, and doctoral levels.

  2. What you can study

    You can study education, business, brewing science, psychology, and general science-related graduate study, with example programmes including B.Ed. pathways for elementary level, secondary level, creative arts, and teaching English as a second language; Master of Education and Master of Arts in Educational Studies; Bachelor of Business Administration; B.A. Major Business; Graduate Certificate in Brewing Science; Master of Science; and a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology. The programme catalogue is limited compared with larger universities, so check the official website for the current full list and entry requirements.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the universityโ€™s official admissions process and check the current requirements for their chosen programme before submitting anything. Confirm the documents needed, deadlines, and whether your previous study matches the level you are applying for on the official site.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range; confirm the current tuition for your programme with its admissions office. Living costs in Lennoxville and the wider Sherbrooke area will depend on housing, transport, and day-to-day spending, so plan for those separately.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is English. Before applying, confirm programme availability, admission requirements for your qualification, tuition in CAD, and whether you need separate proof of English proficiency or other documents.

  6. How it compares

    Among Canadaโ€™s 156 universities, Bishop's sits on the smaller end and is one of three universities in Quebec that teach primarily in English. That makes it a more focused option for students who want English-language study in Quebec rather than a large multi-faculty university.
