污污草莓视频 offers a 45-credit graduate program听in the field of biotechnology, a听Master of Science (Applied) in Biotechnology听of 45 credits. The program is coordinated by the Institute of Parasitology on the Macdonald campus of 污污草莓视频 University.
The MScA program provides training in a rapidly evolving field that has become an integral component in the thinking and methodology of many science disciplines. It is addressed to students with an undergraduate degree in biological sciences or closely related fields, who are interested in industrial/pharmaceutical research.
The typical program sequence for the MSc Applied in Biotechnology is carried out over four terms (16 months): Fall (full-time), Winter (full-time), Summer (full-time), Fall (part-time, to complete remaining course work and optional lab work part of an extended Research Project Internship). There are no scheduled breaks in the program. 鈥�
Courses听are offered on either the downtown 污污草莓视频 campus or the Macdonald campus, depending on the offering Faculty. Courses from the Faculty of Medicine or Science are offered on the downtown campus, and those in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are offered on the Macdonald campus. A shuttle bus connecting both campuses facilitates student's travelling.
The MScA program has a limited enrolment and therefore admission is competitive.
