Minimum Funding Packages in FMHS Graduate Programs 2025-2026
As of January 2016, newly admitted graduate students in Psychiatry must guarantee annual stipends from sources other than personal or family finances. These stipends are intended for student living expenses and tuitions and fees. Stipends come from the thesis supervisor, from external fellowships and from awards provided by the department. Personal or family financing of graduate careers is NOT permitted. However, please note this policy does NOT apply to medical residents who are applying to our MSc program. *Future tuition and ancillary fee amounts are estimated based on a 3% yearly increase. Future stipend amounts are estimated at a 1.8% increase yearly.
