Applied Health Sciences (PhD)

University of Manitoba

The following are minimum requirements to be considered for entry into the Applied Health Sciences PhD program.In addition to the admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, applicants normally need a research-based master's degree in a discipline related to Applied Health Sciences. A research-based master's degree is one in which the institution identifies the program as research based (not professional), where the majority of the coursework is devoted to research, and that a thesis project represents the majority of the program relative to coursework.Applicants that do not possess a research-based master's, but have some research experience, will be assessed on a case by case basis.If the master's degree does not meet the research based requirements, then the student will be required to complete a yearlong research course (AHS 7010, 6 credit hours) in the first year of the program, normally taught by the identified supervisor. This is in addition to the 12 credit hours of coursework required in the Applied Health Sciences PhD program.Finally, all applicants are required to communicate with a potential supervisor from the two participating units prior to application. The supervisor must agree to supervise the student with a letter of support and provide funding information.
