Admission Requirements

DOCTORAL DEGREE

• Normally, applicants must have obtained a thesis-based Master's degree in the discipline to qualify as a doctoral student. Applicants must have academic credentials consistent with being fully-qualified to undertake graduate work at the doctoral level. The categories of probationary or qualifying student do not apply at the doctoral level.

• An applicant who does not have sufficient background training or courses prerequisite to scholarly work in the particular subject of study and research will not be admitted as a doctoral student.

• Alternatively, an applicant may be accepted at the Master's level as a means of illustrating suitability to enter a doctoral program, and after the first year may request, through the academic unit, a transfer to a PhD program.

• A comprehensive examination or equivalent is not a formal requirement of FGSR, but may be required by individual academic units.

• Admission to graduate programs is competitive. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
