A Special Studies Program provides a period of sustained scholarly activity or professional experience contributing to research or teaching or both. For approval to be given for a Special Studies Program, the applicant must show that significant benefits will accrue to the University through the enhancement of the individual's contributions to research, teaching or scholarship of teaching.

The number of programs approved each year may be limited by staffing and budgetary constraints. Applications will be required to demonstrate, and will be considered on, the merit of the project proposed, the capacity of the individual to fulfil the aims of the project and its relevance to University needs.

Application requirements and procedures are detailed in the published guidelines.
