The graduate Committee invites you to know more about our MSc and PhD programs, and the opportunities available at the faculty of Science. Don’t hesitate contacting us if you have any questions.
Entrance requirements include a BSc degree for the MSc program or a MSc degree or equivalent for the PhD programs (see Sciences PhD programs for details). Both programs require also an acceptable level of grades during the last 20 courses completed before the application is submitted. Although UPEI requires a minimum average of 70% in order to consider an application, the Faculty of Science normally requires at least a 75% in order to accept students in the MSc or PhD programs. Regardless of the program (MSc or PhD), the applicant must have a confirmed supervisor and a source of funding must be identified at the time of the application
For a successful application, prospective students should follow the steps listed below:
Step 1. Prospective students must meet the entrance requirements before considering an application. International students should learn in advance about visa requirements, and for those whose first language is not English, there are also language requirements that must be fulfilled (see Application form).
Step 2. Review departmental and individual faculty webpages to find out about availability of space and resources in the research groups of interest. Students must identify, contact, and confirm a potential supervisor as this faculty will subsequently need to commit in writing to the student’s program.
Step 3.Complete and submit an Application form to the Registrar’s Office. The form must be accompanied by official transcripts and an application fee. The student should also arrange to have two letters of reference and, if applicable, proof of English proficiency sent to the Registrar’s Office.
In case there are questions or in order to facilitate a timely review process, students may contact he Graduate Studies Coordinator (pquijon@upei.ca) once the application has been submitted.
