Detailed Information of PhD in Biophysics in Canada at University of Guelph

These are the international student eligibility for the PhD in Biophysics in Canada

For the PhD program the admission requirement is a Masters degree in a relevant discipline with at least a B average. Applications from students who have obtained their prior training from universities abroad will be assessed on an individual basis for equivalency considerations.

Our PhD program is research focused. Therefore, in addition to meeting the academic requirements, we can only admit students for whom we have a supervisor. Interested applicants are encouraged to browse our web-pages (and other web-pages at the University of Guelph) and identify potential supervisors prior to applying. Alternatively, we can try to connect students with prospective supervisors based on research interests.

Please see Graduate Studies' Application Requirements;the official description of admission requirements. Moreover, you need to submit:
  • Transcripts
  • Recommendation Letter
  • Letter of Intent (Statement of Purpose)
  • CV/Resume

N.B: Most universities have specific international admission requirements based on different education systems.

Most of our graduate students in BIG are funded through Graduate Teaching Assistantships from their home departments, Graduate Research Assistantships from their supervisor's research grants, or internal or external scholarships. In fact, most students are funded by more than one of these sources. Since funding packages depend on the home department and supervisors, they are highly personalized and we cannot provide any funding information before a supervisor has been identified. The funding rule for BIG students is that they have to be funded according to the funding rules that apply also to the graduate students in their home department.

In recent years it has become increasingly difficult for us to fund international students (students who are neither Canadian Citizens nor landed immigrants). Most of our international students currently are funded through scholarships from their own countries or from other organizations.
