Dean's Welcome
To Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows:
I am extremely pleased to welcome you to Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) collaborates with the Faculties and other administrative and academic units to provide strategic leadership and vision for graduate teaching, supervision, and research across our over 400 graduate programs. GPS also oversees quality assurance in admissions and registration, the disbursement of graduate fellowships, support for postdoctoral fellows, and facilitates graduate degree completion, including the examination of theses. GPS has partnered with Enrolment Services to manage the admission and registration of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and to offer streamlined services in a one-stop location at Service Point.
McGill is a student-centred research institution that places singular importance upon the quality of graduate education and postdoctoral training. As Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, I work closely with the Faculties, central administration, graduate students, professors, researchers, and postdoctoral fellows to provide a supportive, stimulating, and enriching academic environment for all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
McGill is one of Canada's most intensive research universities, ranked 21st by QS World University Rankings 2014. We recognize that these successes come not only from our outstanding faculty members, but also from the quality of our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows—a community into which we are very happy to welcome you.
I invite you to join us in advancing this heritage of excellence at McGill.
