Prospective Students

If you are interested in our graduate programs (PhD, MSc, MEng), please contact me by email with your resume. I will reply to your email if your credential matches with our need. Students with self-funding or Government-funding are also welcome. Thank you for your interest in our group.

English proficiency requirement: Information ca be found on CGSR website here.

English proficiency not required: See the list of countries and institutions who are exempt from the requirement. For example, students from Bangladesh (who graduated from BUET, CUET, KUET, DUET, IUB, IUT and SUST) do not need IELTS or TOEFL.

**Information for international students**

There is a fast-track immigration program (known as SINP) for international students who graduate from the University of Saskatchewan (UofS). For more information, please visit the SINP website: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/immigrating-to-saskatchewan/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/applicants-with-saskatchewan-experience/students

Open Position

(November 21, 2017) - this positon is closed. Please email me for current and future openings.

We are currently looking for graduate students (two MSc, one PhD) to start in May 2018. These positions are with full funding support ($16k-18k/year for MSc, $20k-22k/year for PhD). Exceptional students may receive a top-up funding up to 3-5k/year.

The student should have a mix of experience and skills in at least two of the following areas: 1. digital system design, 2. microprocessor based embedded system, 3. FPGA design, simulation, synthesis using Verilog HDL, and 4. MATLAB simulation.

The projects are primarily with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. However, students interested in Biomedical Engineering will also be considered.

If you are interested, please send me your resume by email (to khan.wahid@usask.ca). In your resume, please highlight your experience and skills that match our need. Please note that you must meet the minimum requirement of English proficiency for admission at the time of application (see above). Thank you for your interest in our group.
