Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, the University of Ottawa offers the best of both worlds: students can live and study in French or English and still have the opportunity to become fully bilingual.
Morocco
Each year, many students from Morocco come to the University of Ottawa for a Canadian degree. They come because of the reputation the Canadian education system enjoys, and in particular, because of the University of Ottawa’s unique multicultural and bilingual (English and French) environment.

Check the minimum admission requirements
If you are applying from a secondary school, you must meet the following conditions to be considered for admission to an undergraduate program:
- Have obtained, or be in the process of obtaining, your baccalauréat.
- Have earned a minimum average of 16/20 (requirements could be higher depending on the program of study you select)
- Submit an English proficiency test if you are applying to a program offered in English
Space is limited and admission is competitive and not guaranteed. The University of Ottawa reserves the right to deny admission even if an applicant meets all requirements.
If you are currently studying in a French Lycée, IB curriculum, GCE curriculum or an American High School, please consult the pages specific to your situation.
If you have taken postsecondary courses (whether or not you have received a degree) and you meet the following conditions, you can be considered for admission to an undergraduate program. You must:
- Have a minimum average of 70% (requirements might be higher depending on the program of study you choose).
- Have passed the prerequisites (see “1. Prepare to apply”) for the program of study (minimum of 10/20 required). Unless otherwise indicated, you must complete all prerequisites in your final year or at the postsecondary level.
- Submit an English proficiency test if you are applying to a program offered in English.
You must ensure that you meet the minimum admission requirements before applying. If you have any questions about these admission requirements, contact InfoAdmission.
Prepare your required documents
Once you have submitted your application and received your acknowledgment of receipt, you can submit your documents in uoZone. If you are currently in your classe terminale, submit the following documents:
- Transcript from the past three years of secondary studies
- English proficiency test results
- Transcript of results from the first semester of your final year
If you have already graduated, submit the following documents:
- Baccalauréat results
- English proficiency test results
Attend your admission interview
If you meet the minimum admission requirements, you will be invited to an admission interview. This interview is mandatory and part of the admission process. The interview will take place in Morocco (Casablanca, Rabat or Marrakech). The University of Ottawa will contact you by email if you are invited to an interview.
Check whether you are eligible for the Student Direct Stream (SDS)
Some international students can receive their study permits sooner by applying through the SDS, since Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will process most eligible SDS applications within 20 calendar days. Learn more about the Student Direct Stream.
Determine whether you’re eligible for advanced standing
If you have completed some postsecondary studies, you will be evaluated based on them, even if you are applying for an undergraduate program.
We may grant you advanced standing (i.e., transfer your credits), depending on the program to which you apply. Faculties that grant advanced standing base their decision on the discipline, the courses you have completed and the length of your studies.
