Department of Biology Graduate Studies, McGill University, Canada
The Department offers graduate training in many areas of biology with particular strengths in Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation, Evolution, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, Plant Biology and Bioinformatics.
Graduate programs leading to the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees are offered. The emphasis in both programs is on development of the intellectual and technical skills necessary for independent research. The main component of both degrees is a thesis embodying the results of original research.
Formal course requirements are few and are largely intended to fill gaps in the student’s background.
Option programs for both M.Sc. and Ph.D. students are available in the following areas:
1) NEO (Neotropical Environment)
2) Bioinformatics
3) Environment
4) Developmental Biology (PhD only)
Facilities
The Stewart Biology Building and the Bellini Life Sciences Complex are well equipped for graduate training and research in a wide variety of areas of biology.
These resources are greatly extended by affiliation with other organizations such as the Redpath Museum, the Biotechnology Research Institute of the National Research Council of Canada, Macdonald Campus, the Montreal Neurological Institute, and hospitals in the MUHC.
Field research facilities include the Gault Nature Reserve at Mont St. Hilaire (Québec), the Morgan Arboretum (Ste Anne de Bellevue, Québec), the Huntsman Marine Science Centre (New Brunswick), the Subarctic Research Laboratory (Schefferville, Québec), the Bellairs Research Institute (Barbados), the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (Panama), and the limnology research station at the Wilder and Helen Penfield Nature Reserve on Lake Memphremagog (Québec). Some research may also take place in East Africa and and Makerere University Biological Field Station (Uganda).
