Quick Facts

Master of industrial relations and human resources, program description.

The Master of Industrial Relations and Human Resources (MIRHR) degree program benefits students who are interested in advanced academic study leading to career opportunities in human resources management, labour-management relations, collective bargaining and dispute resolution, organization development and change, and labour market and social policy.

The MIRHR is a professional degree program designed to train students in the latest innovations and best practices within industrial relations and human resources management. The program uses an interdisciplinary approach to provide specialized study of the employment relationship.

The MIRHR offers two program options:

The two-year MIRHR option allows qualified students to complete the degree program in two years (16 non-consecutive months) of full-time study.

The advanced-standing MIRHR option enables qualified students to complete the MIRHR in one year (12 consecutive months) of full-time study.

Both options may be taken on a part-time basis.

MIRHR Program (Two-Year)

Minimum admission requirements.

Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also satisfy the CIRHR additional admission requirements stated below.

Applicants to the two-year MIRHR program require an appropriate bachelor's degree from a recognized university. A minimum grade average of B+ in each of the final two years of the degree is required.

Applicants may submit results from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Although these tests are not required and there is no minimum score requirement, this information is helpful to the admissions committee. Test results more than five years old are normally not considered.

Applicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English must write the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The following minimum scores are acceptable:

paper-based TOEFL exam: 600 and 5 on the Test of Written English (TWE)

Internet-based TOEFL exam: 100/120 and 22/30 on the writing and speaking sections

IELTS exam: overall score of 7.0 (Academic), with at least 6.5 for each component.

Since space in the program is limited, all applicants who meet the minimum admission requirements cannot be guaranteed admission. The CIRHR admissions committee reserves the right to select qualified applicants to the program. All admission decisions are final.

Program Requirements

Each student's program of courses must be approved by the Coordinator of Graduate Studies. If chosen courses appear to overlap to a large degree, approval may be denied.

Students must have a mid-B average overall to be recommended for the degree.

Failure in any course (that is, a grade of less than B–) will require a review of the student's program by the department.

A student who fails two or more courses is no longer in good academic standing and a recommendation for termination will be made to the School of Graduate Studies.

Year 1: Foundation Courses

Year 1 is spent acquiring a foundation in industrial relations and human resources and includes courses in economics, human resources management, law, quantitative methods, and organizational behaviour.

After application submission

Admission into the PhD programs is extremely competitive: we only offer admission to a small fraction of applicants, because these students must be funded, either by external scholarships or by a professor's research funds. As a result, PhD applicants are strongly encouraged to contact professors with whom they would like to work, either before or after submitting an application. Without funding, we cannot offer admission.

Students can review the status of their application on the SGS Online Admissions Application website .

Documents Pending

Additional documents required. A student's application is not considered complete until all of the required documents have been submitted. Once all documents have been submitted, status will not automatically update to Under Review. Statuses are updated manually on an ongoing basis.

Under Review

Application complete. Faculty members will review applications and may contact students about offering supervision. Students should actively pursue confirming a supervisor as admission can only be granted to students who have secured a supervisor. Students can contact MIE Faculty members directly to inquire about potential supervision.

If the faculty member has confirmed a student's supervision, the student will be notified of next steps including submission of official final transcripts. Confirmation from the supervisor to the Graduate Office is required to proceed in the PhD program.

Students will then be notified of the results of their application and their status will update to Decision Made.

PhD students may pursue collaborative specializations in the following areas:

  • Engineering Education
  • Psychology and Engineering

In MIE, the purpose of the qualifying exam is to assess the prospects that the student will complete a quality PhD thesis and will develop the ability to operate as an independent researcher. The date and time of the qualifying exam is coordinated between the student and their supervisory committee. The committee consists of the student’s supervisor and at least two other professors appointed as SGS Graduate Faculty with expertise relevant to the thesis topic. The majority of committee members should be MIE faculty members.

Requirements : In order to schedule a qualifying exam, the PhD student must meet the following requirements:

  • successfully complete at least four Half Credit Equivalent courses (at least five for Fast-Track PhD), with at least an A- average
  • obtain one credit on ACORN for attending JDE1000H Ethics in Graduate Research seminar
  • obtain one credit on ACORN for attending 70% of MIE's Distinguished Seminar Series  (SRD4444Y). Attendance recorded with student's T-card

A student who does not meet the above requirements may be required to delay the qualifying exam until requirements are met.  A substantial delay (1 term or more) without Grad Office permission will result in a request to SGS to terminate the program.

Program Requirement : To maintain good academic standing, doctoral students are expected to hold their qualifying exam according to the following schedule from time of admission:

  • 12 months - PhD students with a completed Master's degree
  • 8 months - Fast Track PhD students (after fast-tracking from a Master's degree).
  • 16 months - Direct entry from a Bachelor's degree
  • 24 months - Flex-time PhD students.

Process before exam: At least 10 business days before the scheduled qualifying exam, the student must:

  • book a room for the exam by contacting  reception@mie.utoronto.ca
  • Notify the Graduate Office of their qualifying exam via the Graduate Management System (GMS)
  • This document is typically double-spaced and no longer than 10 pages (including figures, tables, and a short list of references). Consult with your supervisor for specific expectations. Read about how to write a good qualifying exam research proposal

Procedure during exam:

  • The qualifying exam begins with a student presentation of no more than 20 minutes that summarizes their research proposal.
  • This is followed by questions from the committee. (note: MIE PhD qualifying exams are open to other students, unless otherwise requested).
  • Following the exam, the committee assesses progress to date and suitability for the PhD program.
  • the committee decides whether to adjourn the exam and allow the student another opportunity to pass the exam within three months ,
  • or to fail the student and recommend termination of the PhD program.

Following a successful qualifying exam, a PhD student must meet his/her supervisory committee for a progress review meeting at least every twelve months . These meetings allow the committee to assess the progress of the student, in order to decide whether the student remains in good academic standing (see Program Requirements ).

At least ten business days before the scheduled PhD committee meeting, the student must:

  • book a room for the exam by contacting  reception@mie.utoronto.ca
  • no more than 10 double-spaced pages
  • summary of recent progress in the research
  • major tasks that remain and a timetable for completion of the program
  • papers (journal and conference, published and submitted) and presentations that have resulted from the work
  • The student may include additional material as appendices to the report (and should refer to this material in the report), however, the committee is not obligated to read any additional material.

Similar to the qualifying exam, a progress review meeting begins with a student presentation of no more than 20 minutes, followed by questions from the committee. Following the meeting, the committee assesses progress since the last exam/meeting. If the assessment is “unsatisfactory”, another meeting must be scheduled within three months, to determine whether to allow the student to remain in the program.

Due to COVID-19 exams maybe conducted remotely via video conferencing, in-person, or a combination.

The PhD program culminates in the presentation of an oral and written thesis.

A student is ready to defend the thesis once:

  • The student's course requirements have been met
  • or the thesis committee has decided to forgo the Departmental via Ballot on GMS
  • Supervisor must trigger the vote to bypass by selecting the Ballot button on the supervisor's student listing on GMS.
  • The written thesis has been submitted to their supervisor

Once the thesis is ready for the external examiner's appraisal, a member of the supervisory committee must submit the Examiner Nomination Form .

Examiner Nominations

A member of the supervisory committee must submit an External Nomination Form to the Graduate Studies Office via the nomination form at least eight weeks before the proposed exam date.

The date and time of the oral exam is coordinated between the student and the FOE committee.

SGS will approve the external examiner. Approval criteria can be found in the Guidelines for the Doctoral Final Oral Examination .

Approval of the External Examiner

IHPME doctoral student awarded the Adel S. Sedra Distinguished Graduate Award

April 26, 2024

One of U of T’s Awards of Excellence recipients, doctoral student Natasha (Yasmin) Sheikhan, is recognized for her academic achievements and work in advocating for patients’ rights in both research and community settings.

By Elaine Smith 

“My health-care journey began as a patient in a system where I felt lost and powerless, a system that ignores too many patients in their own care,” says third-year doctoral  Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation  (IHPME) student Natasha (Yasmin) Sheikhan. “I am trying to improve this. My experience as a patient drives my passion and my PhD has provided the platform to improve patient partnership.”  

Sheikhan, a trainee at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, is the 2024 recipient of the  Adel S. Sedra Distinguished Graduate Award .  

The $25,000 award, named after a former U of T professor, vice-president and provost who significantly enhanced the graduate student experience, is given annually to a doctoral student who demonstrates outstanding academic and extracurricular leadership. 

phd management university of toronto

Sheikhan’s focus has been on creating a reporting guideline for patient and family engagement in mental health research. She is currently collecting data and interviewing patients, families and researchers to understand their experience with reporting on engagement activities and how it can be improved. 

During her doctoral studies, Sheikhan has served as vice-president of the IHPME Graduate Student Union and sits on several committees to represent the student voice. Throughout her doctoral journey, she is grateful for the support of her supervisors, IHPME  Prof. Kerry Kuluski  and Temerty Psychiatry  Prof. Lisa Hawke . In the community, she is vice chair of the Mid-West Toronto Ontario Health Team (MWT-OHT) and a patient partner on their Executive Advisory Committee.

“My goal at the MWT-OHT is to democratize the leadership and amplify the patient voice, moving away from the status quo that distances patients and caregivers from the process,” she says. “Helping to actualize a patient chair for our MWT- OHT has fulfilled a goal to seeing patients working at the highest level.” 

“My PhD research intersects with my community work. I am able to explore both sides of the engagement space.” 

Sheikhan was excited to hear that she’d won the Adel S. Sedra Distinguished Graduate Award; she had simply hoped to be chosen as one of the finalists. 

“The financial prize will give me some flexibility in finishing my PhD as my Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) funding ends,” she says. “It gives me wiggle room in case the data collection takes longer than I’d hoped.” 

Looking beyond her PhD, Sheikhan says, “I want to be in a place where I can advocate for system change and do research – something that incorporates all of my learnings and experiences and allows me to advocate for the best way forward.”

All of my classes were online, and for the most part, flowed smoothly. The only exception was when the school was hit by a hurricane. Classes, even online ones, were canceled for weeks. Teachers then had to hurry through the material to catch up which was stressful at times. Graduation is typically one big party that spills into the street as a parade in true NOLA style.
