Eligibility Criteria
Each application is considered on its merits, but the normal pre-requisite for admission is an honors bachelor’s degree with at least a B+ standing (minimum 78%). Students who have a general course or pass degree without subsequent studies usually cannot be accepted without first taking a qualifying year. It is our policy that all students be registered in a master’s program initially, unless they hold a master’s degree in Medical Biophysics or related field of research. If their calibre and progress in research are of a sufficiently high standard, then, on the recommendation of their supervisor and advisory committee, students may be reclassified into the Ph.D. program no later than the end of the 5th academic term (i.e. within 20 months), with retroactive registration.
Our faculty supervisors do not accept graduate students prior to a personal interview. We do not make a commitment to accept an applicant into our graduate program until a faculty member has agreed to supervise that applicant.
