To receive the diploma, the requirements of both the primary program and of the diploma must be met. Both credentials are awarded simultaneously. The compulsory diploma courses are offered in English and in French. The optional courses are available in sufficient number in both languages to allow a student to complete all the diploma requirements in either English or French. In accordance with the University of Ottawa regulation, students have a right to produce their assignments, their thesis, and to answer examination questions in French or in English. Students who have completed the graduate diploma as well as their MSc or PhD are eligible to apply to another program offered by the Telfer School Management. The Admissions Committee of that program will determine whether some or all of the credits successfully completed for the diploma can be transferred. Participating Programs Biology (MSc/PhD) Chemistry (MSc/PhD) Earth Sciences (MSc/PhD) Mathematics (MSc/PhD) Physics (MSc/PhD)
