• Students have the option to apply to transfer to a co-op option after beginning this program

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

• Fast-track admission to the PhD in Computer Science:
  • The School of Computer Science offers excellent students an opportunity to transfer from the MMath program to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.
  • This transfer enables the student to begin doctoral research, bypassing the MMath thesis.
  • To apply for this transfer, a student submits a letter of application to the Associate Director of Graduate Studies, any time after the completion of the second term of registration in the MMath program or earlier in exceptional circumstances.
  • The application must be strongly supported by the student's proposed PhD supervisor.
  • A successful applicant would normally be in the thesis option and have an excellent academic record.
  • Evidence must be available that the student has begun a viable research program. If accepted for transfer to the PhD program, the student is expected to meet the requirements for a PhD student entering directly from a Bachelor's degree.
