Supervisor
During their first semester, students in this program must identify potential supervisor(s) from the School’s full-time faculty along with potential topic(s) that fit within each proposed supervisor’s area of interest. Please note that assignment to a supervisor depends on a number of factors, including the student’s preference, the proposed supervisor’s area of expertise, and faculty workload. As such, students should bear in mind that they may not be placed with their top choice of supervisor or topic area.Â
