About Lakehead University
Lakehead University is a Public university in Thunder Bay, Canada. A dependable option to anchor a shortlist, and usually among the more affordable. Programme-level tuition on this page is read from the university's own fees page for international students; where the university publishes no annual figure we say so rather than estimate one.
Programmes here are CAD26,125/yr — verified against the university's own fees pages across 1 published programme. Your exact fee depends on the course — we confirm it, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for broadly accessible Canadian universities, a bachelor's degree with an average around 70% (a B average) or higher, though some institutions will consider slightly lower with strong recent marks; IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each band is the common floor even at less selective institutions, and some programmes ask for more. Canadian master's entry usually expects a four-year bachelor's degree, so a three-year Indian degree is often not accepted directly — some universities take it with strong marks or a postgraduate diploma, others require a qualifying year, so confirm this before you apply. This is general guidance for the destination, not this university's own published rule — your Vibedu counsellor confirms it for you free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Tuition + living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Lakehead University, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, C$). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in C$, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from C$ at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
