You are invited to apply to one of the four graduate programs offered by Wilfrid Laurier University (Laurier) and the University of Waterloo (UW) based at the Balsillie School.

Emphasizing small class sizes and close individual contact with faculty, up to 12 doctoral students are admitted each year to the joint Laurier/UW PhD in Global Governance Program, and each of the Masters programs (MAGG, MDP and MIPP) has a cohort size of fewer than 25 students.

The application portals for the Fall 2026 intake are now closed for all programs. The application due dates for Fall 2027 will be posted in August.

 

Master of Arts in Global Governance

The BSIA is closed Monday, January 26th due to severe weather and local travel conditions.
