Prospective graduate students

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Base admission requirements for Master's and Doctoral programs are maintained by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and documented in Graduate General Regulations section 1.3

For more information on specific BPK Degree Program requirements and program details see the MSc or PhD program pages.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply for the Master's (MSc) or Doctoral (PhD) programs you must submit your application through SFU's graduate application portal maintained by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Applications are reviewed by the BPK Graduate Programs Committee before they are sent to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies which provides further review and will send out an offer letter to you if you are accepted into the program. 

Please indicate on the application which semester you are applying for. If you have missed the deadline for applications, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant (bpk_programs@sfu.ca) for further instructions and application possibilities.

Before admission into either of the thesis programs (MSc or PhD), students must have a supervisor. Thus, students are strongly encouraged to contact potential supervisors and discuss a supervisory arrangement prior to submitting their application.

Note: The major competition for graduate positions occurs in the Fall Semester.
