Conducting research
Graduate school is a place to pursue your passion for research. You'll start with an idea. Then, with the guidance of your supervisor, you'll employ various research methodologies to find an answer to your research question. While some techniques are specific to your field, the School of Graduate Studies supports you in exploring popular tools and approaches that cut across disciplines.
Python & R programming
One of the most sought-after skills you will develop in graduate school is your ability to analyze data. Our Python and R beginner programming workshops, offered once a term, get you started with fundamentals of data management, analysis and visualization.
