Overview
The Master of Science in Microbiology (Thesis) is offered by the Department of Natural Resource Sciences in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill University. It is a research-intensive graduate program covering microbial ecology, microbial diversity, bioremediation, infections, antibiotics, bacterial physiology, and bacterial genetics and genomics, with some faculty applying microbiology to astrobiology research. Students conduct original thesis research under faculty supervision, developing skills in information literacy, research design, and scientific communication. The Department is affiliated with the Lyman Entomological Museum and Research Laboratory, the Molson Nature Reserve, the Morgan Arboretum, and the Ecomuseum of the St. Lawrence Valley Natural History Society, which support field and laboratory research. The program leads to a Master of Science degree and prepares graduates to continue to doctoral studies or pursue professional roles in environmental and biological sciences.
