Program description
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 etiology of normal and disease conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, neurology, and cancer to the biology of the gastrointestinal tract and the function of immune cells. Students in the Faculty of Science will have the unique chance to work with professors from a variety of disciplines. The province's medical research has been brought up to date by the opening of Memorial University's brand new Animal Research Center.
Graduating students typically go on to further their education, enter the workforce in industry or government, or enter the medical field.
