Our graduate programs teach the research and communication skills required for successful careers as independent scientists. Graduates go on to careers in universities, research institutions, or the biotechnology industry, and a growing number choose areas such as consulting, science writing, technology transfer, and patent law. The M.Sc. program requires the submission of a research thesis and is recommended for anyone planning to proceed later to a Ph.D. or to otherwise continue in research. A candidate for the M.Sc. in Biology must spend at least one calendar year in full-time graduate study at McMaster University and must complete satisfactorily one full graduate course (or two half courses) in biology or related fields. Upon completion of their research, the candidate must present a thesis embodying original results, and have an oral defense before a departmental examining committee.
