Graduate students are eligible for teaching assistantships and research assistantships. Teaching and research assistantships, fellowships and other awards may be combined in various ways yielding student stipends of about $10-14,000 per year. Students residing in countries other than Canada are advised that many of the above sources of financial aid are available only to those who are citizens of Canada or who have permanent resident status.

Teaching assistant positions are available for students in each department and at the time of acceptance departments will inform students whether or not a TA is being provided. Generally, TAs are provided for all incoming full-time students. Those who wish to be considered for a research assistant position should contact the department associate chair to find out what positions are available and when applications should be submitted.

It is also possible for graduate students to gain industrial experience while studying for a higher degree. More information regarding this University-Industry interaction may be obtained from the associate chair of the respective departments.
