Overview
The Master of Science in Microbiology and Immunology is a thesis-based research program offered by the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students undertake original research in areas such as molecular microbiology, mycology, microbial physiology, virology, genetics, immunology, drug design, and host-parasite relationships, working within the department's close ties to Montreal hospitals and research centres. Coursework and supervised laboratory research build skills in experimental design, information synthesis, and scientific communication, culminating in a written thesis defended before a committee. The program trains students in molecular aspects of virology, immunology, and microbial genetics and physiology, preparing graduates for positions in academia, research institutes, government agencies, and the private sector. Admission requires an eligible bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 and proof of English-language proficiency. Applications are accepted for Fall, Winter, and Summer intakes, and funding is typically available to support tuition and living costs during the program.
