- Special consideration will be given to applicants who have successfully completed French mathematics or science courses as part of their undergraduate degree and to those who have experience working in international settings.
40% weighting – experiential learning
- Directly related to teaching, such as volunteering or assistance in schools; or indirectly related to teaching, such as coaching or recreational camps.
- References related to experiences and personal attributes will also be considered.
Interviews
On the above basis, the top-scoring applicants will be selected to be interviewed by a team consisting of CSU faculty and local administrators and educators to determine the final group of applicants to be offered a place in the program.
The interview is a compulsory component of the application process.
