How to Apply

1. Before applying, students should consult the list of potential supervisors available here. Students should then contact a potential supervisor doing work that interests them, and confirm that the supervisor has funding to support them and an available opening in their laboratory. It is a good idea to review your proposed supervisor's research via their web page and/or publications and, at minimum, include a resume or C.V. when contacting them.
2. Once you have identified a prospective supervisor, complete the online application form: uwinnipeg.ca/apply-to-grad-studies
3. In addition to the completed application form, the following must also be included with the application:
   1. Transcripts are required from ALL recognized, post-secondary institutions attended, whether or not a degree has been awarded. For initial assessment purposes only, copies of unofficial transcripts are acceptable and preferred. Official transcripts, sent directly from the post-secondary institutions, will only be required if you are recommended for admission.
   2. Supply two letters of recommendation and reference forms from individuals familiar with your academic work.
   3. Provide English language requirement (where applicable).
   4. Other supporting documents may include: scanned copies of name change (if applicable), CV/ resumé and proof of permanent residency (if applicable).
   5. In addition to the maximum 300-word summary of the proposed research on the application form, you may also include up to an additional 2-pages (maximum) describing the proposed research.
   6. Official documents should be sent to the Graduate Studies Admissions Office, The University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB Canada R3B 2E9.

Deadline to submit a complete application package, including all supporting documents, is February 1. The vast majority of students begin their program in September but in rare cases (e.g., if a supervisor’s funding arrangements require an earlier start) a Spring (May) intake can be considered.
