Note 鈥� Dr. Maurice Chacron听 is the Graduate Program Director. Although he is listed as the instructor for the graduate courses above, the students will actually be assessed by their supervisors.
M.Sc Program outline:
All M.Sc students are required to complete a minimum of 45 credits to complete the M.Sc degree in Physiology. These 45 credits include 39 credits of required research courses. The remaining 6 credits are course work related and must be selected from the list or recommended elective courses for graduate students (please check for the list in the program details).
A passing grade at the graduate level is B- (65%). Anything less will reflect as an F on the transcript. A minimum of 12 credits must be taken in each of the three semesters of the residency period.
Students may be requested to fulfill other course requirements depending on their research or academic background. The Graduate Admissions and Advisory Committee (GSAAC) or supervisor may stipulate additional course work depending on the background of the candidate.
There are five formal requirements for the M.Sc degree:
1. The course work as stipulated above - it is recommended that elective courses be completed within the first year.
2. Two student seminars: a Proposal Seminar presented within 5-9 months of starting the program and a Thesis Seminar based on the research done for the M.Sc degree to be delivered approximately 6-8 weeks before the student plans to submit the thesis.
3. Participation in the Annual Research Day held each May.
4. A thesis: it is expected that the M.Sc thesis will generate a body of work comprised of 1 unit of published or publishable research
5. M.Sc degree is to be completed by the end of Year 3.
