IX. Graduate Programs

Clinical Studies

MSc Thesis Program

The MSc program provides focused research training in areas related to veterinary medicine. Research projects may examine aspects of clinical practice or concepts but are not considered discipline or specialty training. Candidates are accepted based on adequate background preparation and availability of an advisor in the area of interest. Applicants should contact potential faculty advisors with established research programs listed in the department website.

Master of Science positions are generally not funded by the researcher. Qualified applicants need to provide their own living expenses and tuition funds, or obtain a scholarship or sponsorship by an organization. The program involves a minimum of 3 courses, a research project and writing of a thesis. We do not offer a clinical Master of Science program.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must have either an honours baccalaureate degree or a DVM degree; licensure to practice veterinary medicine in Ontario is not required.

Degree Requirements

Candidates are required to carry out an independent experimental study and produce a thesis. Three graduate level courses are required.
