In addition to the above requirements, and unit requirements set by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, students must satisfy a methodology requirement involving 400 or 500 level courses in statistics and methods, and, in the case of master's students, participate during their first year in a Research Apprenticeship which is typically overseen by the student's supervisor. Other Departmental requirements are specific to particular programs or supervisors. All applicants are considered for University fellowships but there are many more qualified applicants than there are awards. A limited number of teaching assistantships are available from the Department for up to eight months' work. Teaching assistantships are typically not available to students during their first year in the Department.
Some faculty members employ students as research assistants.
