The Transitional Year Programme (TYP) is a full-time, eight-month access-to-University program. It is intended for adults who do not have the formal qualifications for university admission.
Making Excellence Accessible
We actively encourage applications from members of the Indigenous, African-Canadian, and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as from sole-support parents, persons with disabilities, and students from working-class backgrounds of all ethnicities.
