We regret to say that given limits on available funding, we cannot provide funding for international MA students and all international PhD applicants must secure funding through their supervisor and/or from external sources before submitting an application. (Please note that admission to the PhD program is contingent upon having a confirmed supervisor and funding.)
International PhD tuition is the same as domestic PhD tuition, but international PhD students pay extra for mandatory health insurance.
International MA tuition is much higher than domestic MA tuition.
Proficiency in English is a prerequisite for application to admission. Those applicants whose native languages do not include English will be required to obtain satisfactory standing in an English Language Proficiency test as part of the application process, and before final acceptance is granted.
The Cultural Studies Programs follows the standards and scores requirements outlined on the SGSPA website. Please visit the “How to Apply” section of the SGSPA website (scroll down to Step 4) to view the minimum English Language Proficiency tests' results required by the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (SGSPA) and Cultural studies.
