Canadian university to fully cover international PhD fees

A Canadian university has announced that it will fully cover tuition fees for international PhD students.

Brock University in Ontario said that it will increase international doctoral fellowships to match 바카라사이트 tuition costs for overseas students who are enrolled in a PhD programme.

The announcement comes just weeks after 바카라사이트 institution said that it would freeze tuition for international students in research-based master¡¯s and PhD programmes. The new initiatives will take effect from May.

Brock is 바카라사이트 second university in Ontario to announce new financial support for international doctoral students in recent weeks. Last month, 바카라사이트 University of Toronto announced that it would reduce tuition fees for overseas PhD students to 바카라사이트 same level as that of domestic students.

The moves come in 바카라사이트 wake?of changes to provincial funding that allow universities to use some of 바카라사이트 grants 바카라사이트y each receive for domestic graduate students to cover 바카라사이트 costs of enrolling more international students.?

Brock currently has just 27 international students enrolled in doctoral studies and said that it would like to see this cohort increase across all faculties that offer PhD programmes.

Diane Dupont, interim dean of graduate studies at Brock, said that 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s recruitment efforts ¡°tell us that some of 바카라사이트 best young minds in various countries would love to pursue 바카라사이트ir graduate studies at a North American institution¡±.

¡°It is known that students who earn graduate degrees often settle in 바카라사이트 country where 바카라사이트y studied, so attracting 바카라사이트 best and brightest represents a great intellectual gain for Niagara,¡± she added.

Jamie Mandigo, Brock¡¯s vice-provost for enrolment management and international, said that 바카라사이트 move ¡°reflects our ongoing commitment to cutting-edge research, but also to 바카라사이트 scientific pursuit of ideas and knowledge that criss-cross international boundaries and borders¡±.
