• Three confidential academic reference letters submitted directly from referees who are familiar with your academic work.聽 Your academic references should be contacted directly by FGS using the contact information provided in your online application.聽 If you need to add/amend your academic references, please contact us.
• Electronic versions of signed letters from your intended supervisor and committee members.
  • These letters should be submitted directly from the supervisor or committee member and express their support for your project and how it aligns with their research background and interests, and their agreement to work with you.聽
  • Their role (supervisor or committee member) should be clearly stated, as should a description of their previous experience in supervising PhD students.
  • These letters need to be accompanied by a current copy of their CV.
• The Statement of Interdisciplinary Research Interest (SIRI)

Meeting with the Director

During the application process, the IDPhD Program Director will request a meeting with you, either in person or virtually. This meeting is to ensure that any questions you may have about the application process are answered, and to make sure that you are prepared to undertake the largely independent research activity required of the IDPhD program.

Once all additional documents have been received and the meeting with the director has taken place, the IDPhD Admissions committee and the Faculty of Graduate Studies will determine your acceptance. You will receive a letter from FGS indicating its final decision.
