Notes

Application deadline is November 15 (documents and references due December 1). Degree programs mentioned are PhD and MSc. International funding is partial based on statement that supervisor must be 'able to commit to supporting the student financially' and separate deadline for international offers (May 31) vs domestic (June 30). No explicit information on application fee, GRE policy, rotation model, stipend amount, or cohort size. | Canadian institution. PhD and MSc tracks, different stipend amounts.
