*joint appointment with biochemistry
Courses leading to an MSc and a PhD are offered.
An assigned graduate supervisory committee meets with the student at least once a year to assess progress. The first meeting must occur before the end of the second term when the student makes an oral presentation of the research proposal. In subsequent years research progress must be reported.
Admission Requirements
See “Graduate General Regulations” on page 219.
Degree Requirements
Course Work
The minimum requirement is 12 graduate units.
Research
A major program part is original research. A thesis describing this is submitted and defended.
Admission Requirements
See “Graduate General Regulations” on page 219.
Degree Requirements
Course Work
For students entering with a BSc or equivalent: 15 graduate units. For those entering with a master’s degree: six graduate units not including CHEM 801.
Research
A major program part is original research. A thesis embodying new and significant results is presented and defended at program conclusion.
Transfer from MSc to PhD Program
Transfer from the MSc to the PhD program without submitting an MSc thesis must satisfy University requirements. Evidence of research potential will be judged by the graduate program committee.
Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
See page 305 for information.
Chemical Physics
Students who wish to undertake chemical physics interdisciplinary work may apply to the Department of Chemistry or to the Department of Physics. See “Graduate General Regulations” on page 219 for chemical physics under special arrangements.
This option facilitates work experience outside the academic sphere. Students enrolled in the MSc program may enrol in CHEM 881 and 882. This option is only tenable after the completion of an MSc thesis and defence but before formal graduation. Enrolment requires graduate program committee approval.
