How to Apply

Interested in applying to the Preliminary Year Program?

Please note that Brescia University College and Western University have begun a process that will see Brescia fully integrate with Western as of May 2024, at which point it will wind down operations as an affiliated university college, and Western University will take on the Preliminary Year program.

If you are interested in the Preliminary Year program, you will apply to Western University through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) for September 2024. Your program will be completed in its entirety at Western. Brescia is no longer accepting applications.
