Graduate Programs
In general, Master and PhD degrees are on the basis of research, and students are accepted to specific laboratory groups.
The first step is normally to identify and contact a suitable professor. You can find professors by looking at graduate school websites, or via our Researcher Database. Graduate programs are managed by each department individually, so you need to contact the program office with questions or problems. Normally, there is a contact email on the program website. Please refrain from using the contact form on this website for program inquiries or to try to contact prospective supervisors.
Please note, the advice here is general. You should carefully check the program website for specific details, and email the relevant program offices if you have any questions.
