PhD Social Work (McGill) Admission

[BibliophileSW]

Anyone out there planning to apply to the McGill social work PhD program for Fall 2014??? Better yet, is there anyone out there in the program that could share their experience??

 

I'm currently completing my MSW at UofT and hoping to get right into the PhD program. Any information would be helpful!

Are you bilingual? If you plan to conduct interviews locally as part of your research, I would find out if this will create any obstacles or barriers for you. Additionally, I would consider whether or not you want to establish networks in a city where you might not be able to work after graduating if you aren't bilingual. According to Quebec law, businesses with 25 employees or more cannot hire staff who do not speak French and are fined if caught.
