What is an Individual Study Course?
A scholarly project chosen by the student and supervised by a faculty member from the Department of English. The form of the project and the manner of its execution are determined in consultation with the supervisor.
ENG390Y1 is a full year course and ENG392H1 is the half year version. The two courses are mutually exclusive, so students can only apply for one. These courses are not eligible for CR/NCR option.

The first step is to find an English facutly member that is willing to supervise your research. It is best to find a faculty member whose research interests align with yours. To find the list of English faculty members, their research interests, and contact details, visit our Faculty Directory
