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.
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.

Beware of fraud
The services of an agency are not mandatory to apply at the University of Ottawa. If you use the services of an agency, we recommend that you choose one from our list of approved partners. Make sure you have access to your account information and the e-mail address used for your application at all times.
Discover our recruitment partners
If you are an applicant originally from Morocco currently studying in a Canadian institution, please select your current or last school system for information specific to your profile.
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 OR submit a French proficiency test if you are applying to a program offered in French. See accepted language proficiency tests.
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.
Check below the admission average you need to be considered for the program(s) you’re interested in.
Check the prerequisite courses and additional requirements. You must have taken these prerequisites in secondary school or their college or university equivalents. Please note that if you have attempted university or college studies and completed your prerequisites in secondary school, they will not be counted in your admission average. Your average will be calculated based on your postsecondary courses. Indeed, if you completed or attempted postsecondary studies, your admission average is calculated based on them, even if you apply to an undergraduate program.
Please note that the requirements listed are minimum requirements only and are subject to change. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
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
- Transcript of results from the first semester of your final year
- Results of an English proficiency test if you are applying to a program offered in English OR results of a French proficiency test if you are applying to a program offered in French
