We normally provide PhD students with 48 months of funding. Most of our MA students (in the thesis-based as well as the course-based program) are also funded. In addition to teaching assistantships and research assistantships (and principal instructorships for senior PhD students), there are non-teaching fellowships. The latter include recruitment scholarships for students entering our graduate programs, and many Canadian permanent residents are supported by federal scholarships (SSHRCs) and provincial fellowships.

Ph.D.
Program Strengths
We have an exceptionally diverse set of areas of expertise, ranging over most areas of the history of western philosophy, feminist philosophy, logic and philosophy of language, and "continental" philosophy, and a small bit of Indian philosophy. As such, we can offer a much more comprehensive training in philosophy than most departments of our size. Areas of particular focus within the department include "continental" philosophy (particularly phenomenology), Foucault, aesthetics, feminist philosophy, Aristotle, Aristotelian metaphysics, non-classical logics, the history of analytic philosophy, Hume, some areas in the philosophy of emotions, philosophy of biology, biomedical ethics, and the philosophy of disability.
