Microbiology-Immunology (Thesis) (Master's)

This 45-credit, thesis-based Master of Science trains specialists in microbiology, infectious and autoimmune disease, inflammation and immunology. Students conduct original supervised research advancing knowledge in areas such as pathogen detection, infection-treatment strategies, antibiotic resistance and immune-system responses to disease, culminating in a research thesis. The program must be completed on a full-time basis and is designed for completion in two years. Admission sessions run in fall, winter and summer. Before applying, candidates must secure a research supervisor by contacting one of the program's professors. Applicants need a bachelor's degree in health sciences or an equivalent diploma. French proficiency is strongly recommended and working knowledge of English is required for reading scientific literature. The degree prepares graduates for doctoral studies or research roles in biomedical and infectious-disease research, diagnostics, and related health-science fields requiring advanced laboratory and analytical training.
