Programms Natural and exact sciences

Grenfell Campus' environmental science department focuses on using natural sciences to better understand the environment.
Courses in the programme investigate a science-based environmental focus that ranges from chemical reactions to ecosystem functioning in response to human change of the…

The study of marine animals, their behaviours, and interactions with the environment is known as marine biology. With a combination of wet laboratories, field visits, and project-based courses, the marine biology major provides students with a multitude of immersive learning opportunities. Get out…

Many students come to Memorial because of our expertise in maritime research and our accessibility to the sea. This one-of-a-kind programme, designed for students seeking integrative instruction in both physics and oceanography, enhances that link. Ocean physics provides students with the fundamental…

Ocean sciences, sometimes known as oceanography, is the study of the worldwide marine environment from a variety of geographic and disciplinary perspectives. It focuses on the interaction of marine life and oceanic processes, covering topics such as coastal and deep-sea food webs, marine animal ecology,…

Physics attempts to explain natural occurrences in the world around us, from the extremely small atomic nuclei and fundamental particles to the very enormous scale of the universe. Physics is concerned with how fundamental rules influence observed phenomena, which can range from batting a baseball…

Pure mathematics entails the study of fundamental topics in mathematics such as abstract algebra, number theory, geometry, and real and complex analysis. It is also a desirable requirement for practically any field of study because it may be used as an incredibly effective instrument for logical thinking…

With an emphasis on research and other STEM careers, our graduate program offers an advanced education. Many of our Master of Science (MSc) graduates go on to pursue doctoral studies at our institution. We are a one-of-a-kind department with a wide range of expertise, from the physiology and molecular…

The MSc curriculum consists of courses and a thesis that can be finished in two years of full-time study. 

The Department of Biology at Memorial University is home to nearly one hundred graduate students, thirty full-time faculty members, and several cross-appointment professors from other academic departments. 

Roughly twenty researchers from outside Memorial University, the majority of whom are employed in government laboratories (agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and wildlife), hold adjunct appointments with the Department and contribute to the graduate program as co-supervisors and supervisory committee members.

In the context of boreal ecosystems, our M.Sc.  program in agricultural sciences and boreal ecosystems involve intensive, hands-on study of resources and agriculture. The programs emphasize the economics and science of plant, soil, land, and water resources.

The need for food and water security,…
