Program details

Overview

Pharmacology (MSc) is a thesis-based graduate program in Dalhousie University's Department of Pharmacology, within the Faculty of Medicine, delivered in person over two years or longer. The program trains students to initiate and maintain independent research projects, preparing graduates for careers in academia, healthcare, government drug regulation, and pharmaceutical or biotechnology research. Applicants normally need an honours-level Bachelor of Science degree, and admission also requires satisfying the Faculty of Graduate Studies' general admission requirements together with department-specific criteria. Students must secure a faculty supervisor in the department before admission is granted. International applicants must additionally meet Dalhousie's international-student admission and English-language proficiency requirements. The department directs prospective applicants to its own admission-requirements and application pages, and to the Faculty of Graduate Studies for tuition, fees, and scholarship information.
