Please Note:

BecauseÌýofÌýbudget issues that concern how universities areÌýfundedÌýby Ontario’s provincialÌýgovernment, the Faculty of Arts is currently limiting the number of international students we can admit.ÌýFor Fall 2023 admission, the Department of Philosophy expects to have one funded space in our MA program for an international student (that is, a student who is not a Canadian citizen or permanentÌýresident) and no spaces in our PhD programs. However, we welcome inquiries from prospective international students who have external funding.ÌýPlease contact the department's Associate Chair, Graduate Studies.
