    Proposed supervisor identification

    While it is ideal that a supervisor has agreed to review an application prior to submission, this is not a strict requirement. Applicants will be asked to identify a faculty member whose research interests closely align with your own. Before applying, you should start by researching Computer Science faculty so that you can identify someone you feel is a good fit for your research. Please note that this is NOT a guarantee of supervisor support. 

    * The entrance grade may change from year to year. Please contact the school for further information.
