The department's tight-knit community, the dual focus on linguistics and cultural studies, and the opportunity to teach alongside faculty have allowed me to hone my skills as an academic in a way that is both challenging and highly rewarding.
Our department has developed three stimulating and challenging graduate programs that give students hands-on experience in teaching and research:
We support our students through teaching assistantships, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ graduate scholarships, graduate bursaries, and research assistantships — see our Funding page for more information. We also offer moral support through our mentorship program: graduate studies can be challenging, so we make sure every student has access to a professor to whom they can go for academic, professional, and personal advice.Â
