Due to funding restrictions, the Faculty of Arts is not currently accepting international applicants to its PhD programs. The Department of German & Slavic Studies will be unable to admit PhD applicants who require study permits for the 2021-2022 academic year and until further notice. Limited numbers of international applicants to MA programs and to the IcGS MA program can still be accepted.
The Department of Germanic & Slavic Studies at the University of Waterloo deeply values the contributions of international students in our graduate programs. The current application constraint is entirely based on University and government budget models, making it financially unfeasible for Arts to accommodate a larger cohort of international students.
