Transcript: Transcripts of all post-secondary education (including exchanges and transfer credits) must be scanned and submitted through the online application electronically. For transcripts prepared in languages other than French or English, we require applicants to upload official/certified translations. Please include the original language transcripts with the translation. Please follow the instructions noted on the online application system Curriculum Vitae: Include a resume or c.v. of up to one page (in Word or PDF format) that includes information not available elsewhere in your application package, including work experience relevant to your scholarly interests, academic awards, conference presentations, and publications. Submit the c.v. through the on-line application by following the “submit” link on the document status page. Personal Statement: In a Word document or PDF format please describe the analytical question or problem you would most like to pursue in our graduate program and call it the “Statement of Scholarly Intent”. For PhD applicants, please indicate the question/problem that you foresee as the most likely candidate for the subject of your thesis. You may wish to indicate what theoretical approaches are shaping your thinking on this topic, and why our Department is an appropriate academic environment for engaging in that work. Please do not make this an autobiography. Some background information may be relevant, but what we really want to know is what interests you analytically. The statement must be no more than 500 words. If you are applying as a Direct Entry PhD make it clear to us in your statement that you wish to be considered initially for the PhD program. Submit the statement through the on-line application by following the “submit” link on the document status page. NEW: PhD applicants should indicate at the end of the statement the names of 2 faculty members with whom they would be interested in working with. Recommendation Letter: Be prepared to submit contact information for at least THREE referees (FOUR for the PhD program). Be sure to inform your referees that you are doing this and that the University of Toronto, School of Graduate Studies will be contacting them by email. Once you have confirmed your application information by moving to payment, the system will email your referees and ask them to provide references. They will be asked to log on to the online application through a link the School of Graduate Studies will provide. If, in the rare case that your referee does not have email or does not have an institutional email address, please have your referee fill in a hard copy of the form available here(http://politics.utoronto.ca/graduate/applicants/application-procedures/). The form must be received by the Graduate Office (see address below) in a sealed envelope with a signature over the seal. The letter should come directly from the referee to us. Writing Sample: Prepare a writing sample (in Word or PDF format) of no more than 30 pages of your written work. It may be an essay submitted for a Political Science course, a portion of an MA (or undergraduate) thesis (but not the whole thing), or an analytical policy document (written only by you). For PhD applicants, if you have such a sample that is similar in its subject matter to the work you propose undertaking in your thesis, it would be helpful. Additional pages to the 30 allowed pages will be removed and discarded before the admissions committee sees the writing sample (this includes bibliographic material). Submit the sample through the on-line application by following the “submit” link on the document status page.
