Memorial University is reporting historic growth in enrollment in its graduate programs, topping the 4,000 student mark for the first time.

That’s a 5.5 per cent increase over the fall of 2018.

The biggest portion of that growth comes from enrollment from International students.

A total of 1,613 international students from 91 countries were enrolled in graduate programs at MUN this fall. Associate Vice President Academic and Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, Aimee Surprenant calls that very exciting.

She says it adds to the local culture and MUN is becoming an even greater international destination.
