Application Process

For your initial application, you will be asked to upload scanned copies of official transcripts from each post-secondary institution you have attended to the online application system. Please do not submit hard copies of your official transcripts at the time of application; hard copies of official transcripts or electronic copies of official transcripts sent via secure electronic delivery will be requested only if an applicant is offered admission.

If you have transcripts that are issued in a language other than English: in addition to uploading scanned copies of the transcripts in their original language, you must also upload a certified literal English translation of your transcripts. 

Please refer to the detailed instructions on transcript requirements here.

A Statement of Interest is your opportunity to provide the admissions committee an insight into what drives your passion in the specific research area you wish to pursue and explain how a graduate degree will help you achieve your academic or professional aspirations.

Specifically, in your Statement of Interest, please list your intended area of study within Pharm Sci graduate programs (including the particular faculty member you would like to work with) and outline why you wish to specialize in the area you have chosen.

You are required to provide a minimum of three reference letters, preferably at least two of which are academic references from those who are familiar with your work (e.g., someone who has taught or supervised your research) and can attest to your academic abilities and suitability for the program. Your third reference can either be an academic or professional reference (such as from your co-op/internship supervisor).

In the online application system, applicants are asked to provide an email address for each referee. A unique link will be emailed to each referee, allowing them to log in to a secure site and submit an online reference or upload a reference document. More instructions about how to submit your reference letters can be found here.

Your CV/resume should include details about your educational background, research experiences (including any co-op/internship/practicum/directed studies research experience), awards and recognition (for academic, research, or other achievements), as well as any work, volunteer, and extracurricular experiences.
