Description:

The objective of the Pharmacology M.Sc. degree is to have students think critically about scientific issues and to develop a knowledge-base in pharmacology. Graduates must be able to formulate hypotheses in a specific area of pharmacological research and test them through active research. During training of M.Sc. students, emphasis is placed on obtaining a knowledge of pharmacology and its principles, as well as being experienced in selected experimental techniques commonly used in pharmacology. The Department sees a primary responsibility in training career pharmacologists and does not encourage training at the Master's level that is not intended to lead to a scientific career.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    Canadian applicants to the Pharmacology M.Sc. program must have completed (or be in the final year of completing) an appropriate four-year bachelor's degree, or its equivalent. Applicants are normally required to have taken courses in physiology, biochemistry, or allied sciences sufficient to form a foundation for their work in pharmacology. Eligible applicants must achieve a minimum Annual Grade Point Average (AGPA) of B+ or 77%-79% based on a full course-load in the final year of study. We expect that the final year will include a minimum of four senior-level Full Course Equivalents (FCE's). (300-level and 400-level courses are considered to be senior-level courses).
    Test Scores:
    • Test of English as a Foreign Language (Paper Based) [min. 580] or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Computer Based) [min. 237] or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Internet Based) [min. 93]
    Additional Admission Requirements:
    • Letter(s) of Reference
