The Geography Graduate Program at York
University is recruiting up to 20 MA, MSc, and PhD students for
2019, with an extended application deadline of February 15. We are offering full funding
packages to all students. In addition, our students will find
financial and other support for field-based research from
faculty research projects, and from other sources including York’s many research centres, and the
Faculty of Graduate Studies. We aim to attract excellent
graduate students who fit our research-oriented graduate
program. Potential
students can find more information about our programs and
funding on our website:
http://geography.gradstudies.yorku.ca/future-students/. We will begin
considering full application on February 1, and accept new
applications until February 15.
Our basic funding package provides minimum
guarantees with respect to annual income that are designed to be
equivalent to or better than those offered by other Canadian
universities. Both
Masters and PhD students are offered work as Teaching Assistants
for their basic income, which can be supplemented by
scholarships. Masters
students receive funding for two years, and PhD students for six
years.
