The program offers four areas of specialization: Cell and Molecular Biology, Ecology and Evolution, Neurobiology and Physiology, and Plant Sciences and Oenology and Viticulture. Admission requires a faculty member in the Department of Biological Sciences to agree to supervise the student's research, and applicants identify a proposed supervisor in a statement of research interest submitted with three references. The program runs for 12 terms (four years) of full-time study and culminates in a doctoral thesis. Students can begin the program in the September, January or May intake.
