Rsch Proposal and Qual Exam

The Research Proposal and Qualifying Examination is designed for students to demonstrate broad knowledge in their research area, in addition to their expertise in a specific research topic within one or more of the application domains of mathematical and statistical modelling. It is normally completed in the 4th, and not later than the 5th term of registration. A written Research Proposal and an oral presentation is required. Based on the candidate's defence of the research proposal and responses to the questions, the examining committee will render a decision of pass/fail. In the case of a failing grade, the candidate may be permitted to take the examination once more, for a maximum of two attempts. The examination may be repeated no later than 6 months from the date of the first attempt. In the event that the second attempt results in a failing grade, the Graduate Coordinator will recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies that the student be required to withdraw from the program.
