TRU’s pre-assessment application process is free of charge. This is not a paid service. If you are invited to apply to TRU as a result of this pre-assessment, you will then be required to pay the non-refundable $100 application fee.
Programs are updated in real time and you will only be able to see available programs.
Applications cannot be processed until a faculty member has indicated they will act as supervisor for the student's thesis. This is because the thesis research constitutes the major portion of the MSc program.
Thus, students should begin by contacting faculty in the program that share similar research interests. This should be done before the application is submitted. There are no guarantees that a supervisor can be identified, as this is determined by current funding and research opportunities in each faculty member's lab.

The Master of Science in Data Science has very specific requirements that can be found here. Applicants are required to complete the knowledge mapping form and include it with this pre-assessment application.
Students who only have the bare minimum in the knowledge mapping form are unlikely to obtain admission. Competitive candidates will have a unique, dedicated course for most of the items listed on the third page of the Knowledge Mapping Form: the column labelled as "desirable knowledge and skills".
Unfortunately, you cannot submit this application until you have the knowledge mapping form completed.
Please return to www.tru.ca/ipreapply to submit a new application when you have the knowledge mapping form ready to include in your pre-assessment application.
