Program details

Overview

This thesis-based Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Biophotonics is described by Universite Laval as unique in Canada. The 45-credit program is estimated at two years of full-time study and trains students in applying optics and photonics to the study of living organisms, drawing on physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering, and ethics. The program is built around a supervised original research thesis; applicants must secure a research director who agrees to supervise their work before being admitted. It is normally pursued full-time, though part-time study may be possible with the research director's approval. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in physics, engineering physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, or microbiology, or an equivalent diploma. The program admits students in the fall, winter, and summer terms.

Requirements
