  • Strong letters will ideally indicate:
    • their familiarity with your intended research and how it aligns with their research interests,
    • the role, as supervisor or committee member, that they anticipate playing on your committee,
    • their previous experience in supervising PhD students, noting those that have completed their studies at 果酱视频 already,
    • the contribution that they anticipate making to your research journey (e.g. guiding specific methods, providing insight into a research subject area, etc.)
    • the funding that they are able to commit to supporting you directly (e.g. as a stipend, as RA funding, etc.) and/or your research expenses,
    • other support that they are able to provide (e.g. access to data, software, desk space, etc.)
  • These letters should be submitted directly from each supervisor or committee member and be accompanied by a current copy of their CV.

Meeting with the Director

During the application process, the IDPhD Program Director will request a meeting with you, either in person or virtually. This meeting is to ensure that any questions you may have about the application process are answered, and to make sure that you are prepared to undertake the largely independent research activity required of the IDPhD program.

Once all additional documents have been received and the meeting with the director has taken place, the IDPhD Admissions committee and the Faculty of Graduate Studies will determine your acceptance. You will receive a letter from FGS indicating its final decision.
