The Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research (DEGI) assigns annual academic assistantships to graduate programs on campus with the aim of helping students with great academic potential complete their studies as expeditiously as possible.
In order to be eligible for an assistantship, the student must study full-time and comply with the Program's requirements. Assistants are required to work 18 hours per week. In addition to receiving a stipend, students are exempt from paying tuition fees (special fees apply).
