Admission to the Medical Science Graduate Program is granted only if appropriate supervision is available from a faculty member with adequate research facilities to support a student's research program. There is limited financial support for graduate students in this program. Therefore, an offer of admission is conditional on the availability of external financial support in the form of studentships and scholarships, or financial support directly from a prospective supervisor. Personal funds are not considered for this purpose. Currently, the minimum required graduate stipend is $17,850 per year of program. Specializations may have different requirements.
