Our graduate program isÌýNOT AFFECTEDÌýÌýbyÌýthe recent Quebec government announcements regarding tuition increases.
Out-of-province and International MSc-Thesis and PhD students will NOTÌýbe impacted by these proposed tuition increases.
PhD students from the rest of Canada will continue to pay the same tuition as students from Quebec.
Tuition will increase by approximately ~3% per year, as in past years.
Please see thisÌýlinkÌýfor additional information.
Full-time MSc-Thesis and PhD graduate students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences will receive funding to support for their living expenses, tuition and fees. A student’s funding may come from a combination of sources including, but not limited to, the supervisor’s research funds, Graduate Excellence Funds (Tuition Assistance Fellowship), Differential Fee Waivers, and scholarships awarded to the student. Travel and presentation awards do not contribute to the minimum funding package. Funding will be provided to students for a minimum of two years for MSc-Thesis programs and for five years for PhD programs. Shorter periods of funding support are acceptable if the final thesis is submitted prior to the these time limits. It is strongly encouraged that funding be extended until submission of the final thesis. Students must demonstrate adequate progress and meet required program milestones. Minimum funding levels are outlined below.
