Teaching
Post Funding Teaching
PhD students are normally provided with financial support for a period of five years. The objective is that students will have completed enough of their program to be able to take a job. Many students do not finish in that time; some obtain outside funding such as research fellowships, but others may teach as sessional instructors in the School of Business. Departments are usually able to provide such sessional instructor positions, dependent on students' teaching capabilities. See also Funding.
Teaching Development
Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Graduate Teaching and Learning Program offered by the Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies.
Teaching Requirements
Teaching may be an important component of a PhD graduate's future career. For this reason we require that each student have university teaching experience before completing the Business PhD program.
Students who receive financial assistance throughout their programs are expected to teach a total of two courses in their third and fourth years, without remuneration beyond normal funding. The scheduling of the courses is the responsibility of the respective departments.
