Master's in Virology and Immunology

The Master's in Virology and Immunology is a 45-credit, thesis-based graduate program at INRS that develops foundational concepts in virology and immunology alongside the ability to design and interpret experiments, particularly laboratory-based research. The program combines coursework with a 33-credit research thesis and is offered on a full-time basis, with admission cycles in the fall, winter and summer terms. Coursework and supervision are conducted in French, and applicants also need sufficient written English proficiency for this program. Students work under the supervision of a research director, developing hands-on laboratory skills in infectious-disease and immune-response research. Graduates are prepared for doctoral studies or research careers in virology, immunology and related biomedical fields. The credential awarded on completion is a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Virology and Immunology.
