Transcripts for all post-secondary degrees completed

Applicants must include the names, affiliated institutions and email addresses (college / university or company mail) of at least two academic references (i.e., from former professors). An additional reference may be from a professional reference. A suitable referee is an individual who knows you well, academically and/or in a professional context, but who does not report to you. Your referees will receive an email from application.support@concordia.ca inviting them to complete an electronic assessment form and attach their letter of reference. You are strongly encouraged to submit your application before your program’s application deadline in order to give your referees sufficient time to provide their assessment and letter of reference.

If you do not have prior research experience, what do you think are the most important elements of undertaking advanced research projects? 2) What initial research idea(s) or topic(s) might you want to pursue in the program? Are there any of our faculty members specializing in this area? 3) Briefly highlight your strengths that you would bring to the program, your weakness(es) that you would want to improve upon in the program and your career objectives, as well as how would this specific program help you to achieve them?
