About University of Ottawa
University of Ottawa is a Public university in Canada, ranked #228 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.
Indicative tuition: CAD42,525–CAD63,164 / year · Scholarships can reduce this — we confirm what you qualify for, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for Canadian universities in this band, a four-year bachelor's degree with a mid-B average or better (around 70-75%), usually calculated on the final two years of study rather than the whole degree; IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each band. A three-year Indian bachelor's is accepted for some master's programmes but by no means all — others ask for 16 years of education, a pre-master's year, or several years of relevant work experience instead. This is general guidance for Canada rather than this university's published rule; your Vibedu counsellor confirms the exact requirement 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 University of Ottawa, 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.
