SWB Scholarship Program |
Eligibility |

Students must hold either a strictu sensu master’s degree from a Brazilian university or other qualification making them eligible to begin a doctoral program. |
|
Potential sandwich / joint students should be currently enrolled as doctoral candidates in Brazil and completed the first year of study. |
|
Those interested in postdoctoral research at the University of Saskatchewan should have completed their PhD in Brazil at the time of application. |
U of S Admission
All applicants to a doctoral program, or to a joint student / sandwich program, must meet the minimum admission requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and Research. Specific program admission requirements for different graduate programs may be higher than the College’s posted minimum. If you require English training, please check the University Language Centre for courses.
Find a Program
The University of Saskatchewan (UofS) offers many different graduate programs and postdoctoral opportunities. To search for a program in your area see Find a Program.
You are encouraged to review the research groups and individual research areas of the faculty and researchers associated with each program. Follow these three easy steps:
- Select the link to the Website of your chosen program and look for “research areas”, “research groups” or “our faculty” listings;
- Review the information provided and select your preferred two or three faculty researchers, and
- Contact the professor, the graduate chair, or research lab directly prior to applying to get additional information and to see if graduate or postdoctoral placements are available.
Applying to the U of S
Application deadlines for graduate programs can vary by program. We recommend you apply early, often 8 to 12 months before you plan to attend for a PhD program. Less time, 3 to 6 months, is typically needed for sandwich / joint students or postdoctoral applicants.
