Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Following successful completion of the qualifying examination, approval to proceed with thesis research will be based on the submission of a written proposal to the Advisory Committee, and an oral presentation to the Department at large.

Where the qualifying examination focuses on broader conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues pertinent to the student's scholarly fields and research areas, the thesis proposal provides a framework for the actual research.

General requirements

Applicants for the Ph.D. program should have a recognized Master's degree with an 80% (A-) average in their graduate-level studies.

Applicants with excellent standing at the honours baccalaureate level who wish to proceed directly to doctoral study will first enroll in the Master's program.

A superior record and a particular aptitude for research may, on the recommendation of the Department, allow transfer to the Ph.D. program without completion of the Master's degree.
