Regular Track
It is also possible to apply to the regular PhD admission stream at the beginning of the terminal MSc year.
Fast Track (transfer to PhD track after regular MSc admission)
If a “regular MSc” student who shows high research potential can find a willing supervisor during Y1 or Y2 of the MSc, they can be transferred into the PhD track program and are then subject to the fast-track requirements . (In particular, the course requirements, directed studies, research project, and RPE requirements described on the PhD track page.)
