Application Instructions

- See our application FAQ document for more information about the documents you will need to submit and how to approach the application process.
Supervisors
You do not need confirmation from a supervisor before applying to the program. However, students are encouraged to make informal contact (e.g. e-mail) with potential supervisors about their research interests during the application process and indicate this on their statement of purpose.
Documents
DO NOT send hard copies of documents to the Department; all application documents are to be uploaded to the FGSR application system.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that references and all required documents are received by the application deadline or the application will not be considered.
