Other requirements
General requirements
- Identify the degree that you are interested in, and then look through the list of faculty that accept students in that degree.
- When you begin contacting supervisors, don't be surprised if they respond by wanting a Curriculum Vitae (an academic resume that highlights your educational and professional background) and copies of unofficial transcripts.
- Contacting potential supervisors before you apply allows you to discuss your proposed research with a faculty member and determine if there is a faculty member interested in working with you.
- If the supervisor expresses interest, they will typically outline what projects they are currently working on or what areas they may feel comfortable supervising within, and what they might have funding for or could feasibly pursue for funding.
