Graduate Studies Office
Welcome to the Humanities Graduate Studies Office. This Office administers the study program of research students, and provides faculty research activities and career opportunities through workshops, seminars, conferences, editorial positions on publications, links with other researchers, and more.
The Faculty Graduate Studies Committee (FGSC) assists you through consideration, advice and approval of your candidacy proposal, as well as through working with the Graduate Studies Office in providing research-support activities and opportunities.
