The School of Graduate Studies acknowledges the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion in graduate education. This is reflected in our diversity statement and the work of the SGS committee on diversity. We are mindful of the need and our role to increase access to graduate education for all students, but particularly those who contribute to the diversity in our graduate programs. If you are an Indigenous student or a Black Canadian student applying for admission to a doctoral program, we can offer additional supports. Please contact akim@mun.ca for more information.
Choose your semester and check the deadlines

Deadlines and entry semesters are also listed on the relevant page of the Graduate Programs section of our website.
We encourage you to apply early. You may upload your supporting documents to your online application after your application is submitted (under “Documents and Supplemental Items”).
