List of Supervisors

Apply Here

*Note: A supervisor's expressed willingness to take you on in Steps 2 and 3 does not guarantee you a position in a program. Acceptance to a program cannot be guaranteed in advance of the application review procedure of the Department to which you are applying.

Option 2

(Available only through Mathematics and Statistics)

Apply for the Biostatistics specialization within the MSc thesis or PhD program through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics via The Faculty of Graduate Studies Website.

Note: Although getting the agreement of a potential supervisor before applying is highly recommended, you can apply to the interdisciplinary biostatistics specialization through the Mathematics and Statistics MSc thesis or PhD programs without doing this. Upon review of your application a potential supervisor interested in taking you on can then contact you. This option is not available through the Department of Community Health Sciences.
