After a preliminary review of their file, a candidate may be invited for an interview. Interviews are primarily conducted virtually for international and non-Montreal students, and in-person for local students. We would like to highlight the importance of the interview process: It not only helps the admissions committee to better understand your background and objectives—it is also an important opportunity for you to ask key questions to ensure that the MMF at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù-Desautels is the right program for you. Following the interview, your file will be forwarded to and evaluated by the Master’s ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Committee.
Candidates who are accepted by the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Committee will have a specific amount of time to accept the offer and secure a place in the MMF program.

For any questions, please contact us at mmf [at] mcgill.ca.
Deferring admission for one year may be considered in exceptional cases upon evidence of extenuating circumstances. A written request should be submitted to us at mmf [at] mcgill.ca. If approved, students wishing to defer their admission will be required to submit a non-refundable confirmation deposit in order to secure their place for the following year.
