University of Calgary

Computational Media Design (CMD), PhD (F16)

Rejected via E-mail on 30 Nov -1

Note

"This year CMD received 17 applications but we could only admit 4 students. All applications were thoroughly reviewed and the selection process was very competitive." Background: Double master degrees: Electrical engineering master from a US university, Computer Science Master from a Canadian university. Several publications in interdisciplinary research (Interactive Computer Music). I do not recommend this program, because you have to find two co-supervisors from two different departments. After interviews with several potential supervisors I got a oral promise from one who serves in music department. However, it is hard to find a good supervisor from computer science department since they said the department does not have sufficient funding. Finally, got this rejection. Congrats to those four lucky applicants.
