Graduate Tuition & Fees
A detailed breakdown of the tuition and fees for McGill's Master's and Doctoral students is available on the university's Student Accounts website.
International Fee Differential (IDF) Yearly Renewal for Returning Students
The IDF allows international PhD students to pay the same tuition fees as PhD students from Quebec. If you were the recipient of an IDF in the past, IPN will continue to cover the IDF for students who remain eligible. In order to remain eligible, returning students must register before the deadline, and be in good academic standing, having met all their yearly milestones and passed their courses. It will remain at the discretion of IPN to review all information, including all sources of external funding in the eligibility, processing, and renewal of the IDF waiver.
International residency fees apply to graduate students until they complete 8 full-time semesters in a doctoral program (when admitted to Ph.D. 1) or 6 full-time semesters in a doctoral program (when admitted to Ph.D. 2). When “Additional Session” appears on your transcript, you are no longer subject to international fees, and therefore no longer require this fee waiver.
N.B. Please note that, exceptionally, we will be contacting some students to register over the Summer as there will be an earlier deadline for them.
