Admission criteria for SFU

What are the admission requirements for SFU?

Generally, universities in BC province use four main courses of 12 provincial examination to calculate admission scores. However, since the 2002 school year, SFU has started to use the average scores of five courses in grade 12 to calculate the admission score.

SFU divides the subjects of grade 12 into three categories, which are listed as Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 respectively.

Table 1 There are only two subjects, namely 12 grade English or French, and students must submit one of them. Of course, most China students choose English in grade 12. As for the other four courses in grade 12, they are selected from the following tables 2 and 3.

Table 2 contains mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, geology, history, geography, English literature, French literature, AP calculus, AP statistics, AP Spanish literature, AP environmental science, AP computer science, IB computer science, IB environmental system, IB mathematics and calculus.

Table 3 is divided into four groups:

1. Fine arts and performing arts: fine arts, dance, writing, chorus, instrumental music, composition, artistic foundation, drama performance, film and television, and visual media arts.

2. Humanities group: relatively civilized, IB knowledge theory (philosophy), various languages-French, Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Punjabi (Indian), etc.

3. natural science group: calculus, forestry, IT information technology.

4. Social science group: economy, news/media, law, BC aborigines, AP psychology, AP comparative government and politics, AP American government and politics, IB psychology, IB business and management, IB social anthropology.

Each college requires five grades in grade 12 as follows:

1. College of Literature: English, with two subjects in Schedule 2 and two subjects in Table 2 or Table 3 (Table 3 is not allowed to be in the same group).

2. Business School: English and Mathematics, plus one subject in Schedule 2, plus two subjects in Table 2 or Table 3 (the two subjects in Table 3 are not allowed to be in the same group).

3. Faculty of Science: English, Mathematics, two natural sciences (biology, physics, chemistry, geography and geology), plus one subject in Table 2 or Table 3.

Fourth, technical colleges:

1. Department of Communication: English, with two subjects in Schedule 2 and two subjects in Table 2 or Table 3 (Table 3 is not allowed to be in the same group).

2. Engineering: English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, plus one of the subjects in Table 2 or Table 3.

3. Ergonomics: English, Mathematics and two natural sciences (biology, physics and chemistry), plus one in Table 2 or Table 3.

4. Computer science: English, mathematics, a natural science in Table 2, a social science (or art courses, or humanities), plus a math or natural science.

In addition, both the College of Liberal Arts and the Business School require students to have taken English, mathematics, a foreign language and a natural science course in grade 1 1. College of Science requires 1 1 grade English, mathematics, foreign languages, physics and chemistry. The requirements of departments such as communication, geographic information, computer, basic science and technology of freshmen, interactive art and technology are the same as those of the College of Liberal Arts; The requirements of engineering and ergonomics are the same as those of science college. Therefore, high school students need to choose a suitable class from the eleventh grade, so as not to find that they do not meet the requirements when applying, which will be a big loss.

As the number of new immigrants in the Greater Vancouver area has been increasing substantially, the competition for university entrance is fierce. The admission score of SFU has always been high. In the 2004 academic year, the minimum admission scores were 79 for the Faculty of Arts, 80 for the Faculty of Science, 80 for the Faculty of Engineering, 80 for the Department of Computer Science and 86 for the Business School.

SFU also sets high standards for English proficiency of new immigrants and international students. The TOEFL score must be above 250 (600 in written test), or at least 230 (570 in written test), and the composition part must be above 4.5.

Starting from the fall class of the 2006 school year, SFU will implement stricter English proficiency requirements, including setting a bottom line for English scores of 12 and LPI English fluency test scores, and strictly demanding students' English writing ability.
