Biology (M.Sc.)

Laurentian University

Our Biology M.Sc. program provides students with the opportunity to complete a research thesis in one of three fields of study: Molecular and Cell Biology, Animal and Plant Biology, or Ecology and Evolution. You will have the chance to work alongside experienced scientists and receive guidance from an Advisory Committee throughout your studies. The program is taught in English however, Francophone faculty members may support Francophone students during their studies. During the first year of studies, students typically take three courses and focus on research during the second year. With the help of their supervisor, students choose courses that provide a comprehensive understanding of topics relevant to their research field and personal interests. Biology M.Sc. students who have a GPA above 75 percent can be considered for a paid Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) for various undergraduate courses. After graduation, our students can explore various career opportunities in fields such as environmental consulting, federal and provincial ministries, mining, conservation agencies, biomedical research, chiropractic, dentistry, physiotherapy, human and veterinary medicine, naturopathy, teaching, wildlife, fish, habitat, park management, conservation, and many others.
