Fast-track to PhD
The Fast-track option is to support students who are in a Master’s program, have shown strong research potential, and intend to do a PhD. The Fast-track option allows students to enter the PhD program without finishing the Master’s requirements including the thesis.
For more information and process, please consult:
- the FGPA Fast-tracking Guidelines, available under Forms & Policies of their website.
