Admissions blog: Mythbusters - All my undergraduate courses need to be completed at the current year of study e.g. when in third year, all courses need to be at the third year level.

Students in a lab

This myth is FALSE.

You are expected to take some courses that correspond with your year of study in your program.  If you are applying during your third year of study, at least three courses should be at the third year or higher level.  If you are applying during your fourth year of study, at least three courses should be at the third or fourth year level. You are not expected to have a large number of lower year courses when you reach the upper years, however, it is understood that courses outside you major area of study may need to be taken at an introductory level.
