We encourage you to attend one of our online information sessions so you can better understand the program and how to prepare a successful application.

The sessions are conducted every weekend through the video conference system we use for the program. Information sessions are about 50 minutes long. You only need your computer or mobile device connected to the internet. Students who attend an information session in person or online are also granted a priority deadline that will guarantee their application is reviewed while every research area still has at least one spot open. With more students applying globally every term and each professor working with only three to five students, this will attending an information session will give you an edge in the admissions process if you decide to apply.

You can register for any of the sessions through after submitting your application. A link will be available on the Confirmation page.
