The Guelph-Waterloo Centre for Graduate
Work in Chemistry and Biochemistry combines the Department of Chemistry
at the University of Waterloo and the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at the University of Guelph into a comprehensive and
all-inclusive school of graduate chemistry and biochemistry. The
members of the centre conduct research in virtually all areas of
modern chemistry and biochemistry.
Professional personnel in the centre comprise
those faculty members of the two departments who have been appointed
as PhD advisors and have a record of recent research achievement.
The centre is administered by the director and its affairs are guided
by the co-ordinating committee, which consists of the director,
the two departmental chairs, the two departmental graduate co-ordinators,
two elected centre members from each campus, and one elected representative
of the graduate student body from each campus. The regulations applying
to graduate study in the centre meet the requirements of the graduate
councils and the Senates of the two universities.
The fields of research in which theses
can be written normally fall within the categories of analytical,
inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical (also chemical physics)
and polymer chemistry, and biochemistry. The category chosen will
normally be referred to as the candidate's major. However, if a
suitable topic is chosen, a candidate may pursue research which
involves more than one of the categories listed above. Certain course
requirements must be fulfilled both for the MSc and for the PhD.
These courses are chosen in consultation with the candidate's advisory
committee and the graduate officers of the centre.

MSc Programs
Admission Requirements
Non-Canadian applicants whose first language
is not English are required to submit evidence of proficiency in
the English language or pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). A minimum score of 580 is required.
MSc Program
An applicant is eligible for admission
to the MSc program if he/she has an honours bachelor of science
degree, or the equivalent, with first- or upper second-class standing
from an accredited university.
MSc Co-operative Option
An applicant is eligible for admission
to the MSc co-operative option if he/she is a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident and has honours bachelor of science degree, or
the equivalent, with first- or upper second-class standing from
an accredited university. The co-op MSc option is not available
to students who have completed a co-op program as undergraduates.
These students are, however, eligible for admission to the co-op
PhD program.
Degree Requirements
MSc Program
Students must successfully complete at
least four semester-long graduate courses, one of which is MSc Seminar,
CHEM*7940, and submit and defend an acceptable thesis.
MSc Co-operative Option
The academic requirements are the same
as in the regular MSc program, but at least two of the required
four semester-long courses (including CHEM*7940) must be completed
during the first two semesters of study. The student will spend
the following two semesters (eight months) working in an industrial
or government laboratory, upon completion of which he/she must present
an acceptable work report. After returning to campus, the student
will complete his/her course work and research and prepare the MSc
thesis.
Part-Time Course-Based MSc Program
Students who elect this option must successfully
complete eight semester-long courses, including MSc Seminar, CHEM*7940,
and MSc Research Project, CHEM*7970. This option is designed for
students whose employment or family responsibilities allow free
time for study only in the evenings.
-
PhD Programs
Admission Requirements
Non-Canadian applicants whose first language
is not English are required to submit evidence of proficiency in
the English language or pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). A minimum score of 580 is required.
PhD Program
An applicant is eligible for admission
to the PhD program at the discretion of the director. In general,
an applicant must possess the qualifications listed for the MSc
program, together with a master of science degree comparable to
those awarded by North American universities and suitable references
from the institution at which the MSc degree was awarded.
A student who is registered in (GWC)2 as
a master's candidate may be permitted under certain circumstances
to transfer to a PhD degree without writing an MSc thesis. The following
guidelines are used in deciding whether a student will be recommended
to the appropriate university authorities to transfer directly to
the PhD program.
-
The request must be initiated by the student no
later than the end of the third semester in the MSc program.
Transfers will be made no later than the fourth semester.
-
The applicant should have a superior academic record
at both the undergraduate and graduate level, with a first class
standing and above average performance in a minimum of two graduate
courses and MSc Seminar, CHEM*7940.
-
The applicant must have demonstrated an oral and
written communication ability appropriate for a PhD-level student,
and there must be clear evidence of research productivity and
promise.
-
The request for direct transfer should be accompanied
by supporting documentation from the advisor, the advisory committee,
and another faculty member familiar with the student's research
record.
PhD Co-operative Option
A student will be eligible for admission
to the PhD co-operative option if he/she is a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident and has an honours bachelor of science degree,
or the equivalent, with first- or upper second-class standing from
an accredited university.
Degree Requirements
PhD Program
Students in the PhD program must successfully
complete three semester-long courses beyond those required for the
master of science degree. One of these courses will be PhD Seminar,
CHEM*7950. Students must also pass an oral qualifying examination,
CHEM*7960, in their major field, and submit and defend an acceptable
thesis.
PhD Co-operative Option
Students registered in the PhD program
may proceed to that degree under the co-operative option. Under
this option four of the six required semester-long courses (including
CHEM*7950) must be completed within the first two academic semesters
of study in the centre. After successful completion of these two
semesters of course work, the candidate will spend three semesters
(one year) working in an industrial or government laboratory. Registration
in the co-operative option commits students to the acceptance of
employment either through a regular interview procedure organized
by Career Services, Counselling and Student Resource Centre at the
University of Guelph or by the department of co-operative education
and career services at the University of Waterloo; or, where their
interests are best served, on an assignment specified by the centre.
On completion of the work year, a student will be required to submit
a work report which will be evaluated by the centre and the career
services unit at the student's home campus. Following successful
completion of the work year, the student will return to the centre
to continue work on a PhD research project and complete the regular
PhD requirements.
