Entry requirements

An interdisciplinary degree programme must be approved by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, including a completed programme form signed by the proposed supervisory committee and a rationale showing why a new individual programme is necessary. Two co-supervisors from two academic units are required.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Many graduate programs have three entry points: September, January and May; entry points and deadlines are listed on each program overview page.

The application fee is $145.25 if all documents originate within Canada and $187.00 if any originate outside Canada, payable online by credit card.
